About this map

Acord Lakes and the surrounding high-country terrain of Sevier County sit at a convergence of the Manti-LaSal National Forest and Fishlake National Forest. The landscape is defined by the massive uplift of the Wasatch Plateau, which is carved by deep drainages like Convulsion Canyon and Mud Spring Hollow. The map reveals a complex network of forest roads and residential drives, particularly around the western edges, including W Highlander Dr and Aspen Terrace Rd, suggesting a modern interface between wilderness and settlement.

Water sources are vital to this high-altitude environment, evidenced by the presence of Skutumpah Reservoir and numerous named springs such as Lizonbee Springs and Fairy Spring. Prominent landmarks like the Jack Adley Monument and Jolly Mill Point provide fixed points for navigation across the high plateaus, while the rugged elevation transitions from White Mtn down to The Cove illustrate the dramatic topography of this section of Utah.
