About this map

Manti-La Sal National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape in Sanpete County, where an intricate system of water management features highlights the region's agricultural and hydrologic history. The presence of numerous engineered waterways, including the South Ephraim Ditch, Larsen Ditch, and Wasatch Ditch, illustrates a sophisticated approach to directing snowmelt and spring water across the plateau. These ditches link prominent water bodies like Petes Hole Reservoir, New Canyon Reservoir, and the small John August Lake to the surrounding terrain.

Prominent landmarks such as Horseshoe Mountain, Danish Knoll, and Haystack Mtn provide significant elevation, with named features like Olsen Bench and Clay Bench suggesting historical family associations with the land. The corridor is traversable via Skyline Dr and State Hwy 29, providing access to the various forks of Cottonwood Creek and the North Fork Big Bear Creek. This survey offers a clear look at the topographic character of the Wasatch Plateau, from the depths of Olsen Canyon to the heights of Mid Mtn.
