About this map

Dixie National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape on the border of Wayne and Garfield counties, characterized by an extensive system of reservoirs and alpine lakes. The area serves as a critical water catchment, with features like Donkey Reservoir, Fish Creek Reservoir, and the prominent Blind Lake scattered across the plateau. The irrigation and water management infrastructure is evident through named developments such as Ned Reservoir and the Beaver Dam Reservoir, supporting the high-country meadows.

Grazing history and land use are reflected in place names like Hickman Pasture, Birch Creek Meadows, and Little Beef Meadows. Terrain features such as the Cocks Comb ridge and Bluebell Knoll provide landmarks for navigating the transition from the forested heights of Boulder Mtn down toward the draws and flats. This 2017 survey details the network of forest roads, including Donkey Reservoir Rd, that connect these remote water sources and meadows.
