2017 Map of Taylor Mountain

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in the Uinta Mountains, where a network of forest roads and trails traverses a series of alpine parks and meadows. The terrain is defined by prominent summits such as Taylor Mountain and Frenches Peak, with the hydrology of the region marked by numerous springs and small alpine lakes, including Lily Pad Lake and Alma Taylor Lake. This 2017 survey illustrates the managed wilderness of northeastern Utah, specifically how forest access routes like the Red Cloud Loop and Ashley Driveway connect remote features such as Death of James Meadow and Sims Peak. The area serves as a significant drainage basin for Ashley Creek, with several forks and canyons, including Black Canyon, carving through the high plateau. The map details the transition from forested peaks to more open flats like Grasshopper Flat, providing a contemporary view of this protected recreation area.
