2017 Map of Twin Peaks

About this map

Independence sits at the northeastern edge of this mountain terrain, where the slopes of the Wasatch Range meet the vast reaches of the Uinta National Forest. This 2017 study illustrates a landscape defined by high peaks and deeply cut drainages, including Strawberry Peak and the namesake Twin Peaks. The complex network of water features, such as Harris Reservoir and the Clyde Cr/Strawberry River, highlights the area's role in the region's hydrography. Recreation and passage are central to the map's details, with the Forman Trail and the Daniels Summit crossing through the timbered heights. From the Highline Canal in the northwest to the family-named landmarks like McGuire Hollow and Pete Canyon, the map provides a look at the modern balance between protected wilderness and the rural community on the forest's fringe.
