About this map

Wolf Creek Summit serves as the high-elevation focal point for this section of the Uinta National Forest, where the watershed divides between the Great Basin and the Colorado River drainage. To the north, the headwaters of the South Fork Provo River and Mill Hollow—anchored by the Mill Hollow Reservoir—carve through the landscape. The southern and eastern reaches of the map are defined by the complex drainage systems of the West Fork Duchesne River and Vat Creek.

Modern recreational use is prominent throughout these highlands, evidenced by seasonal corridors such as the Mill Hollow Snomo Groomed Trl and the Nobletts Wolf Creek Snomo Grmd Trl. The topography is a labyrinth of distinct basins and ridges, including Jimmies Basin, Becky Basin, and the prominent Duchesne Ridge. These family-named landmarks and secluded water bodies like Heart Lake provide a detailed look at the geography of the Wasatch range as it stood in the early 2020s.
