About this map

Gilluly sits at the junction of several critical canyon corridors where the high ridges of the Uinta National Forest meet those of the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The landscape is defined by the deep carving of Spanish Fork Canyon and Starvation Canyon, which provide a natural route through the otherwise daunting elevations of High Peak and Tucker Peak.

Historically, this area reflects the rugged nature of Utah mountain travel and resource extraction, evidenced by labels such as Mine Hollow, Drunkard Hollow, and Soberville Hollow. These names offer a window into the lives of those who worked the high country. The convergence of Soldier Cr, Tie Fork, and Starvation Cr underscores the importance of water management in this arid but high-altitude environment, while the boundary between Utah and Wasatch Counties follows the natural drainage divide of the ridge lines.
