About this map

Delano Peak and the high ridges of the Tushar Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Beaver and Piute counties. Much of the terrain lies within the Fish Lake National Forest, where the Skyline National Recreation Trail traverses the crest near Mount Holly and Lake Peak. The map reveals a high-country landscape shaped by both recreation and historical industry, with numerous prospects and mines dotting the northern slopes near Alunite Ridge.

Water management is evident through the presence of Blouney Reservoir and Puffer Lake, while the drainages of Cottonwood Creek and City Creek carve deep basins like Crystal Basin. The area's nomenclature is particularly distinctive, featuring landmarks such as Marys Nipple, Bellyache Canyon, and the City Creek Campground, providing a look at how this mountain range was utilized and named by early 21st-century surveyors and foresters.
