About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the Whiterocks River and Sheep Creek emerge from a series of glacial basins. The 1963 survey meticulously records the intersection of several county lines, including the Summit, Daggett, Duchesne, and Uintah boundaries. A defining historical feature is the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts across the basin near Whiterocks Lake and Dollar Lake.

The terrain is a network of alpine water bodies, from the secluded Weyman Lakes and Lamb Lakes to the more accessible Spirit Lake Campground on the shores of Spirit Lake. The presence of numerous named basins, such as Lakeshore Basin, and the remote West Fork Carter Creek drainage illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the eastern Uinta Mountains. This map serves as an essential record for tracing early land divisions and high-country landmarks like Weyman Park and Deadman Lake.
