About this map

Ashley National Forest and Uinta National Forest converge in this high-elevation terrain along the border of Wasatch and Duchesne counties. The landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, rising toward the summit of Strawberry Peak, with several water sources including the Strawberry River and the secluded Big Beaver Springs feeding the local ecosystem. The map reveals a complex network of topographical features such as the prominent Dollar Ridge and Timber Ridge, alongside various deep drainages like Beaver Canyon and Slab Canyon.

A notable inclusion for modern land management is the Upper Timber Canyon CMPA, indicating specific conservation or administrative priorities in the late 20th century. Local history and genealogy researchers can trace named landmarks like Twelve Hundred and The Knolls, or follow the course of Minnie Creek through Minnie Hollow. The area remains largely undeveloped, characterized by the intricate contouring of Cow Hollow and Pine Hollow, reflecting the region's character as a preserved wilderness area just before the turn of the millennium.
