2023 Map of Whiterocks Lake

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape where the boundaries of Daggett, Duchesne, and Uintah counties meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of alpine water bodies and drainage systems, including the East Fork Whiterocks River and the headwaters of the Middle Fork Sheep Creek. A complex system of historical trails, such as the Uinta Highline Trl and Daggett Lake Trl, connects prominent landmarks like Whiterocks Lake and Spirit Lake. The presence of named basins and passes, including Lakeshore Basin and Gabbro Pass, indicates a region of significant topographic relief, anchored by the 12,000-foot heights near Mt Untermann. This area serves as a critical watershed for the surrounding basins, evidenced by the high density of named lakes like Pearl Lake and the Wooley Lakes.
