2014 Map of Whitney Reservoir

About this map

The Mill City Ghost Town sits along the W Fork Bear River, a quiet reminder of early industry within the Wasatch National Forest. This high-elevation terrain is defined by a complex network of alpine lakes and dramatic summits, including Moffit Peak and Gold Hill. The central Whitney Reservoir is fed by Meadow Cr and Humpy Cr, while the southern reaches of the map show the headwaters of the Weber River and the Hayden Fork. Several lakes with distinctive names, such as Whiskey Island Lake, Bourbon Lake, and Fish Lake, are scattered across the high basins. For researchers, the map provides a look at the remote access routes of the modern era, tracing Whitney Rd and State Hwy 150 as they navigate through passes like Moffit Pass and Gold Hill Pass to connect these high-country landmarks.
