UINTA RIVER

*Uinta River (Duchesne/Uintah) originates on the eastern on the eastern slopes of Kings Peak (Utah's highest peak), and drains south southeast into the Duchesne River. In the early mountain men/trapper period of Utah Territory, the relationship of the Uinta and Duchesne rivers was occasionally confused; even the nearbly Whiterocks River was called the Uinta River prior to the 1870s.
