About this map

Black Mountain rises above a landscape defined by deep canyons and high-elevation plateaus in this part of Sanpete County. The terrain is marked by essential water sources for the region, including Metcalf Spring, Leo Spring, and the prominent Town Reservoir which is held by the Town Reservoir Dam. The drainage pattern is led by Sixmile Creek and Twelvemile Creek, carving through locations such as North Fork Sixmile Canyon and South Fork Sixmile Canyon.

The presence of the Grove of the Aspen Giants Scenic Area highlights the specific ecological character of the area, while names like Bub Arthurs Flat, Loveridge Flat, and Julius Pasture suggest a history of seasonal high-country use. Significant topographic markers including Rattlesnake Peak, White Ledges, and the curious depression known as the Black Hole provide a detailed account of the physical geography used by surveyors to define this portion of the Utah interior.
