2014 Map of Whiterocks Lake

About this map

Ashley National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape where the boundaries of Daggett, Duchesne, and Uintah counties meet. This terrain is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and basins, including the notable Whiterocks Lake and the nearby Lakeshore Basin. The hydrology is complex, with headwaters such as Middle Fork Sheep Cr and the E Fork Whiterocks River carving through the plateau. High peaks and gaps like Mt Untermann and Gabbro Pass dictate the movement across this wilderness, while open alpine areas like Bear Park and Weyman Park provide breaks in the timber. Historically significant for its water resources and remote timberlands, the map reveals a wilderness largely untouched by permanent settlement, preserved instead for its natural drainage systems like W Fork Carter Cr and Dry Fork.
