About this map

The Uinta National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape where the Wasatch Range meets the headwaters of the Strawberry River. The small community of Independence sits near the northeastern corner, surrounded by a complex network of canyons and benches such as Row Bench and Dockweed Flat. The topography is defined by significant elevations, including Strawberry Peak and the namesake Twin Peaks, which serve as landmarks for the drainage systems of Daniels Cr and Main Cr.

Transportation through these highlands centers on Daniels Pass, a critical transition point that follows the path of Daniels Canyon. Historically significant routes like the Foreman Trail and specialized winter passages such as Telephone Hollow Winter illustrate the seasonal nature of travel in this part of Wasatch Co. The presence of the Highline Canal in the northwest further indicates the management of water resources across these mountain divides.
