2020 Map of Wolf Creek Summit

About this map

Wolf Creek Summit sits at the hydrological and geological crossroads of this portion of the Uinta National Forest. The map documents a complex network of ridgelines and drainages where the headwaters of several major river systems originate, including the S Fork Provo River and the W Fork Duchesne River. Human passage through this high-elevation terrain is marked by established routes like the Granite School Trail and Yellow Lake Trail, which navigate between prominent landforms such as Duchesne Ridge and Shale Ridge. The presence of the Mill Hollow Reservoir and smaller alpine bodies like Heart Lake and Yellow Lake highlights the importance of water management in this landscape. To the south, numerous basins such as Scotty Basin and Jimmies Basin lead toward Red Creek Mtn, illustrating the varied topography of the Wasatch Range.
