"Aspen Lake" does not appear on USGS maps in the Aquarius Plateau, however this is one of many glacial lakes on Boulder Mountain, possibly now named Deer Creek Lake. Hillers traveled through this area in 1872 as a member of the Thompson Expedition, but returned to this high country in 1875 to continue photographing the region. This view is probably facing west, overlooking the headwaters region of the Escalante and Paria rivers in the distance.
