2014 Map of Taylor Mountain

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-elevation terrain in the Uinta Mountains, where several open mountain parks and meadows define the landscape. Notable among these is the uniquely named Death of James Meadow and Government Park. The high-country hydrology is characterized by small lakes and headwater streams, including Lily Pad Lake and Alma Taylor Lake, which feed the various forks of Ashley Creek. The area's topography is marked by prominent summits such as Taylor Mountain, Frenches Peak, and Sims Peak. For those studying the history of the region's land use, the map traces the Red Cloud Loop as it winds through the timber and parks, alongside family-named landmarks like Charleys Park and Alma Taylor Hollow.
