About this map

Fishlake National Forest dominates the high-altitude landscape of south-central Utah in this early 1940s survey. The map centers on the high crest of the Tushar Mountains, including Delano Peak, Mt Belknap, and Mt Baldy. This era of public land management is represented by several remote outposts, including the Delano Ranger Station and Big Flat Guard Station, alongside shelters such as Telluride Cabin and Butler Beck Cabin.

Mining history is deeply etched into the eastern slopes near Marysvale, where the Deer Trail Mine and Copper Belt Mine operated above Bullion Creek. The high basins like Bullion Pasture and Kays Meadow suggest a seasonal economy of livestock grazing, while the presence of the Sevier Mine near Upper Kimberly highlights the industrial extraction that defined this era in the Piute and Sevier county mountains.
