About this map

Manti-Lasal National Forest dominates this section of the Wasatch Plateau, where high-elevation ridges and deep canyons define the border between Utah and Sanpete Counties. The landscape is a network of historical transport routes, ranging from the prominent Skyline Dr traversing the crests to traditional paths like the Mill Fork Driveway and the Fish Creek Trail. These routes follow the natural topography established by major features such as Beehive Ridge, Johnson Ridge, and Clear Creek Ridge.

Water sources are vital landmarks in this arid upland environment, with Garret Spring and Commissary Spring serving as key points for both wildlife and human travelers. The map reveals the intricate drainage system feeding into the surrounding valleys, including Loggers Fork, Pondtown Cr, and Gooseberry Creek. This 2017 survey details the complex system of spurs and canyons, including the namesake C Canyon and its adjacent ridges, illustrating the enduring geography of Utah’s backcountry.
