2011 Map of Wolf Creek Summit

About this map

Wolf Creek Summit serves as the high-elevation focal point of this 2011 survey, marking the transition between the headwaters of several major drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the high crest of Duchesne Ridge and the Shale Ridge, which separate the western flow of the South Fork Provo River from the easterly progress of the West Fork Duchesne River. Human activity in this mountainous region is concentrated around water management and recreation, anchored by the Mill Hollow Reservoir and its associated Mill Hollow Dam. Seasonal campsites such as Mill Hollow Campground and Wolf Creek Campground provide access to the high backcountry. Historically significant grazing lands and open basins, including Beef Pasture, Jimmies Basin, and Scotty Basin, reflect the area's utility for high-altitude livestock management throughout the twentieth century.
