About this map

The high ridgelines and drainages of the Manti-La Sal National Forest define this area at the boundary of Utah Co and Sanpete Co. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of named ridges such as Bennion Ridge, Beehive Ridge, and Pondtown Ridge, which channel water into numerous forks of Clear Creek and Fish Creek. The map documents a rugged high-elevation environment where infrastructure is limited to utility corridors like the Skyline Pipeline and administrative locations such as the Iceberg Administrative Site and a nearby Communication Site.

Tracing the Skyline Drive and the Great Western Trail across the terrain reveals the importance of these routes for forest management and transit between the Price District and Ferron District. Historical sites are marked only by ruins or former locations, notably Iceberg (Site), suggesting a shift in the Forest Service's presence over the decades. The map also captures specific localized industry, including a Gravel Pit near Terry Ridge, illustrating the minor but essential human modifications to this mountainous Utah landscape.
