2011 Map of C Canyon

About this map

Skyline Dr winds through high mountain ridges, serving as the primary corridor for this 2011 survey of the Manti-La Sal National Forest region. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including the headwaters of Fish Creek, Gooseberry Creek, and Silver Creek, which carve deep canyons into the high plateaus. Evidence of early resource utilization and passage is found in names like Sawmill Canyon and Wagon Road Ridge, indicating the historical significance of these routes for timber and transport. The Browns Peak Trl provides specialized access to the western peaks, while the Johnson Ridge Overlook offers a perspective over C Canyon and the surrounding Johnson Ridge. For researchers, the map records numerous water sources essential for high-altitude survival and livestock, such as Rock Spring, Garret Spring, and Commissary Spring.
