1972 Map of Whitney Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Whitney Reservoir and the headwaters of the Bear River define this high-altitude landscape within the Wasatch National Forest. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the map reveals a remote network of drainage systems and high passes that shaped the movement of early forest rangers and travelers. The presence of the Whitney Guard Sta near the West Fork Bear River indicates the administrative oversight required for this wilderness area, while several remote water bodies like Whiskey Island Lake and Bourbon Lake are tucked into the high basins. Distinctive peaks and crossings such as Moffit Peak, Moffit Pass, and Gold Hill Pass served as vital landmarks for those navigating the divide between the Bear and Weber River watersheds. The terrain is marked by numerous seasonal drainages including Humpy Creek and Coyote Hollow, illustrating the complex hydrology of the High Uintas.
