2014 Map of Deer Creek Lake

About this map

Dixie National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape on the eastern slopes of Boulder Mtn. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of alpine lakes and meadows, where seasonal grazing lands like Baker Pasture, Kings Pasture, and Haws Pasture illustrate the area's long-standing connection to local ranching. Water management for these high pastures is evident through features like the Kings Pasture Reservoir and Moosman Reservoir, which capture runoff from the surrounding peaks. In the southeastern corner, State Rte 12 provides the primary transit corridor, winding near Sawmill Point and across the Middle Deer Cr. The map reveals a complex drainage system where the W Fork Boulder Cr and E Fork Boulder Cr descend from the plateau, feeding a series of isolated water bodies including Crater Lake and Deer Cr Lake.
