About this map

Candland Mountain rises prominently within the Manti La Sal National Forest, anchoring a landscape defined by significant water management and energy infrastructure at the turn of the 21st century. The map illustrates a high-elevation network of reservoirs including Electric Lake, Cleveland Reservoir, and Miller Flat Reservoir, which serve as vital catchments for the headwaters of Huntington Creek.

Industrial activity is evidenced by numerous gas wells and mines scattered across the plateaus and gulches, particularly near Valentines Gulch and Little Eccles Canyon. The presence of the Monument Peak Comm Site atop Monument Peak suggests the area's importance for regional communication. For researchers, the detailed mapping of 4wd tracks and recreation trails provides a clear picture of how this resource-rich terrain was accessed for both extraction and timber management.
