About this map

Rock Creek Ranch sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the South Fork Rock Creek and West Fork Rock Creek converge within the Ashley National Forest. The 1967 field survey documents a wilderness transitioning into a recreational destination, evidenced by the presence of the Upper Stillwater Campground and South Fork Campground. To the north, the High Uintas Wilderness boundary encloses a cluster of high-alpine water bodies including Diamond Lake, Rudolph Lake, and Tworoose Lake near the prominent Tworoose Pass.

The southern portion of the map is defined by the significant rise of Big Log Ridge and Burnt Ridge, which separate the Rock Creek drainage from Farm Creek. Notable landmarks such as Stillwater and the steep descent of Miners Gulch reflect the area's isolation and its historical use for grazing and early forest management, preserved here before later developments altered the local backcountry access.
