About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape where the borders of Uintah, Duchesne, and Daggett counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of alpine water bodies and drainage systems, including the Whiterocks Lake and the headwaters of the E Fork Whiterocks River. Glacial features such as the Lakeshore Basin and various mountain passes like Gabbro Pass emphasize the geological character of the Uinta Mountains.

Transport through this wilderness is restricted to historical paths and trails, such as the Uinta Highline and Hickerson Park Trail, which connect remote landmarks like Mt Untermann and Spirit Lake. The presence of numerous named lakes, including Potter Lake, Pearl Lake, and the Woolley Lakes, indicates a landscape shaped by significant hydrological activity. This 2017 survey provides a detailed look at the trail systems and natural boundaries that have long defined access to this portion of the Uinta range.
