About this map

The Sanpitch Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape along the border of Juab and Sanpete counties. As a snapshot from the turn of the millennium, the map shows the Uinta National Forest as it was administered by the Manti-La Sal National Forest, highlighting a complex network of canyons and drainage systems. Water sources are critical here, with named features like Cold Spring, Spring (Alkali), and Chriss Creek carving through the terrain.

Remote 4WD tracks provide the primary access to the interior, connecting points of interest such as the Quarry in the northwest and the Communication Site on a prominent ridge. Notable landmarks for land navigation and local history include the high point of Big Baldy, the expansive Sage Flat, and livestock-related features like the Corral near the center of the quadrangle. The topography reveals the transition from deep cuts like Bear Canyon to the broader expanse of Flat Canyon in the south.
