1968 Map of Acord Lakes

About this map

Fishlake National Forest and Manti-La Sal National Forest converge on this high plateau landscape, defined by a network of drainage systems like Convulsion Canyon and Quitchupah Canyon. The 1968 field check captures the area's transition into more intensive land management, evidenced by the presence of Skumpah Reservoir and numerous water developments. Resource use is clearly marked by the historic Jolly Mill site near Jolly Mill Point, alongside family-named landmarks such as Lizonbee Springs and Collier. The terrain is characterized by high ridges like White Mountain and Big Ridge that drop into deep hollows, including Eldridge Hollow and Mud Spring Hollow. An extensive network of jeep trails indicates the rugged accessibility of the Old Woman Plateau and Duncan Mountain for ranching and timber activities in the late 1960s.
