About this map

Woodland and Samak anchor this high-elevation terrain where the Wasatch National Forest meets the Uinta National Forest. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Provo River, which cuts through the center of the sheet near a Quarry and local Cem. Evidence of mountain resource use is scattered throughout, from the Fish Hatchery in the north near Beaver Creek to several prospects and an industrial pipeline that traverses the western slopes.

Transport and recreation are intertwined in this era, shown by the extensive network of pack trails and jeep trails navigating deep drainages like Svedes Canyon and Rileys Canyon. The presence of established sites like Oakcrest Camp and Beaver Creek Campground highlights the transition toward recreational land use in the mid-20th century. Topography varies from the relatively level Bench to the prominent height of Potters Knoll in the south.
