2014 Map of Blind Lake

About this map

Dixie National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape on the border of Wayne and Garfield counties. The topography is defined by the massive basalt plateau of Boulder Mtn, where numerous alpine lakes and man-made impoundments provide critical water storage. High points like Bluebell Knoll and Donkey Point overlook a complex drainage system where Donkey Cr and Fish Cr carve through the terrain. Evidence of seasonal grazing and water management is visible through features such as Hickman Pasture, Donkey Meadows, and Jim Larson Reservoir. The map illustrates the transition from the high meadows of Birch Creek Meadows and Dog Flat down toward the lower slopes and canyons. Blind Lake, the largest natural water body in the area, sits prominently below the eastern rim of the plateau, surrounded by a network of smaller ponds like Pear Lake and Curler Lake.
