About this map

Awapa Plateau dominates the high-elevation landscape of this Piute and Wayne County border region, characterized by a complex network of reservoirs and water management features. Located within the Fishlake National Forest, the terrain is marked by significant landmarks like Parker Mtn and Abes Knoll. The western edge of the map reveals the descent into Grass Valley, where Otter Creek flows.

Evidence of historical land use and travel is found in names like N Old Red Schoolhouse Rd and Aspen Dr. The prevalence of man-made water sources, including Fish Lake Reservoir, Windy Ridge Reservoir, and Eightmile Reservoir, suggests the importance of water storage for high-plateau livestock or agricultural interests in this arid Utah environment. Geological features like Black Point and Black Ridge provide distinct navigational points across the plateau's surface.
