About this map

The high peaks of the Tushar Mountains dominate this 1981 survey of the Fishlake National Forest along the border of Beaver and Piute counties. Centered on the towering summit of Delano Peak, the landscape is defined by extreme elevations and narrow drainage corridors like Cottonwood Creek and City Creek. Human activity is primarily limited to resource extraction and primitive access, evidenced by numerous labeled Mine and Prospect sites concentrated near Alunite Ridge and Gold Gulch.

Water management is visible at high altitudes with Blainies Dam and Puffer Lake, while the network of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails indicates a region utilized for forest management and recreation. Distinctive landmarks such as Marys Nipple, Mount Holly, and the Guard Sta near Hunt Creek provide specific points of interest for those tracing the history of Utah's high-country wilderness and early forest service infrastructure.
