About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the waters of Rock Creek and its various forks have been heavily engineered for water management. The massive Upper Stillwater Reservoir and the nearby Stillwater Tunnel reflect the complex infrastructure designed to store and divert water in this part of Duchesne County. This area serves as a significant recreational and agricultural hub, evidenced by the presence of Rock Creek Ranch, the Rock Creek Resort, and several developed sites like Upper Stillwater Campground and Yellow Pine Campground.

High mountain geography is defined by prominent peaks and passes, including Tworoose Pass and East Grandaddy Mtn. The terrain is punctuated by numerous alpine lakes such as Tworoose Lake, Lily Pad Lake, and Milk Lake. Historical land use in these elevations is further marked by features like Miners Gulch and several vital water sources such as Burnt Ridge Spring and Log Hollow Spring, which supported the livestock and seasonal camps of the region.
