About this map

Ashley National Forest encompasses the high country of the western Uintah Basin, where the peaks of Tabby Mountain and Grey Wolf Mountain dominate the horizon. In the early 1960s, this landscape was defined by its water sources and deep-cut drainages like Right Fork Cockey Hollow and Santaquin Draw. The Red Creek Reservoir serves as a central landmark, collecting flows from Red Creek and Tabby Creek to support the surrounding basin.

Evidence of historical land use appears in the Old Indian Treaty Boundary and the scattered Jeep Trails that connect remote springs such as Whiskey Spring, Birch Spring, and Beer Spring. These paths provided access for early 20th-century resource extraction, noted by a Mine near McDonald Basin. The presence of a Radio Facility and Radio Tower near Little Lake and Big Lake reflects the mid-century infrastructure required to manage these high-altitude wilderness areas.
