1972 Map of Soapstone Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Uinta National Forest lands dominate this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of the Provo River systems converge. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service at the time of this 1970s survey, the area reflects a mid-century focus on public recreation and resource monitoring. The concentration of developed sites like Camp Roger, the Soapstone Guard Sta, and the Shady Dell Campground suggests a well-established seasonal use pattern. Water management and conservation are central to the map's details, evidenced by the Gaging Sta on the North Fork Provo River and the Water Tank near the guard station. Topographical features like Soapstone Mountain and Silver Meadow define the high basins, while various pack trails and jeep trails indicate the methods of access to the more remote drainages including Lambert Hollow and Nobletts Creek.
