2020 Map of Abes Knoll

About this map

Fishlake National Forest encompasses the high country of this quadrangle, where the boundary between Piute and Wayne Counties cuts diagonally across a landscape dominated by the Awapa Plateau. The area is defined by its extensive water management system, featuring numerous small-scale upland storage basins including Fish Lake Reservoir, Windy Ridge Reservoir, and Deadman Hollow Reservoir. These reservoirs, scattered across the slopes of Parker Mtn and Abes Knoll, suggest a legacy of ranching and high-altitude water conservation essential for the arid climate. The topography transitions from the low-lying Grass Valley and Otter Creek in the northwest to the dramatic heights of Black Ridge. Traceable routes such as N Old Red Schoolhouse Rd and the TV Tower Rd provide access through the rugged canyons of Hatch Canyon and Parker Hollow.
