About this map

Wasatch National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Summit County, where the headwaters of the West Fork Bear River and Weber River originate. The hydrology is centered on Whitney Reservoir, a significant water body situated among numerous alpine lakes including Beaver Lake, Sand Lake, and Whiskey Island Lake. This 2023 survey illustrates a wilderness defined by its drainage basins and mountain crossings, with the Moffit Pass and Gold Hill Pass serving as key topographical transition points.

A network of recreational and administrative routes, such as Whitney Rd and the Whitney Snowmobile Trl, provides access to the backcountry. The map documents the intricate creek systems like Humpy Creek and Meadow Creek that feed the larger river forks. Notable peaks such as Humpy Peak, Moffit Peak, and Holiday Park Peak define the horizon, marking the high divides between the various river canyons.
