About this map

The high alpine country of the Ashley National Forest and Uinta National Forest dominates this 1962 survey, revealing a landscape defined by water and ridgelines. The West Fork Duchesne River cuts through the central terrain, fed by a complex network of tributaries including Buckboard Creek, Annie Mae Creek, and West Twin Creek. For researchers of historical land divisions, the map clearly traces the Old Indian Treaty Boundary as it traverses the county line between Wasatch and Duchesne counties.

Transportation in this high-altitude environment is limited to a network of trails and rugged tracks, such as the Jeep Trail winding near Tims Hole and Blue Lake. Significant elevation markers like Red Creek Mtn and Lightning Ridge frame the watersheds, while infrastructure is represented by a solitary Pipeline and a Gaging Station on the river, indicating the early 1960s focus on water resource management in the Uinta Mountains.
