About this map

The Wasatch Plateau dominates this high-elevation landscape within the Manti-LaSal National Forest, where water management and ranching define the human footprint. Agriculture and livestock history are represented by sites like Funk Upper Ranch and Lower Ranch, situated near the rugged drainage of Fünks Canyon. The map reveals a complex network of reservoirs and springs essential for high-country life, including Patton Reservoir, Town Reservoir, and Newfield Reservoir.

Topographical landmarks like Rattlesnake Peak, Black Mtn, and Mt Baldy rise above the flats and canyons. Local history is etched into the terrain through family and place names such as Bub Arthurs Flat, Loveridge Flat, and Julius Pasture. Modern recreation is noted via the Harmon ATV Trail, which winds through the Sixmile Canyon area, illustrating the dual use of these public lands for both industry and leisure.
