1885 Map of Uinta

USGS Topo · Published 1927

About this map

The high alpine crest of the Uinta Mountains dominates this 1885 reconnaissance survey, which reflects the early scientific exploration led by Powell. The map focuses on the drainage systems and towering summits of the northern Uinta Basin, showing the transition from the glaciated peaks like Gilbert Peak and Emmons Peak down to the major watercourses of the Uinta Valley. The complex hydrology of the region is traced through the Duchesne River, Rock Creek, and Lake Fork, illustrating the primary water sources that would eventually support settlement in the valley below.
