2023 Map of Birdseye

About this map

Thistle Creek carves a central corridor through this section of the Wasatch Range, where the small settlement of Birdseye serves as a primary waypoint along the valley floor. The geography is defined by a high-relief landscape spanning the border of two major protected areas, the Uinta National Forest to the west and the Manti-La Sal National Forest to the east. Steep drainages like Spanish Fork Canyon and Nebo Creek feed the central waterway, while prominent summits such as Santaquin Peak and Loafer Mtn anchor the high country. Numerous named hollows and ridges, including Mahogany Ridge and Paces Hollow, detail the complex terrain of the basin. Local transit routes like Birdseye Rd and Bennie Creek Rd provide access to cattle country and isolated landmarks such as Nielson Knoll and the high-elevation meadows at Soap Flat.
