About this map

Delano Peak towers over this section of the Tushar Mountains, serving as a high point within the Fishlake National Forest. The landscape is a high-altitude wilderness defined by sharp ridges and deep canyons like Bellyache Canyon and Cougar Canyon. This terrain dictated the development of specific recreational and access routes, such as the Skyline National Recreation Tr and the S Bullion to Gold Hill trail, which connect the high basins to the lower drainage systems.

Water resources are concentrated in features like Puffer Lake and the smaller Otter Lake, which feed the many creeks branching throughout the mountains. The presence of named landmarks like Marys Nipple, Alunite Ridge, and Grindstone Flat provides specific points of reference for those studying the land use and geomorphology of the Beaver and Piute county border. This geography shows a pattern of high-country grazing and mining access, evidenced by roads leading to Mill Canyon and Gold Gulch.
