About this map

Manti-La Sal National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the ridges of the Wasatch Plateau define the divide between Sanpete, Emery, and Carbon counties. Water management and resource infrastructure are central to the terrain, anchored by the significant Electric Lake in the northwest and Miller Flat Reservoir to the south. The area is marked by a complex network of canyons and peaks, including Monument Peak and Candland Mountain, which overlook the deep drainages of Huntington Creek and its various forks.

Historical movement through these mountains is preserved in the naming of pack trails and local landmarks like the Scad Valley Trail and Sawmill Canyon Trail. The presence of the Huntington Pipeline alongside established forest routes like Millers Flat Road reflects the dual role of this wilderness as both a recreational corridor and a critical utility watershed for the surrounding central Utah valleys.
