About this map

Fishlake National Forest encompasses the eastern half of this terrain, where the high elevations of the Pahvant Range meet the descent into the Great Basin. The landscape is defined by the significant corridor of Dog Valley, providing a natural passage between the mountains marked by Cove Fort Dog Valley Pass. To the north, the terrain levels out into the broad expanse of White Sage Flat, while the interior is dissected by steep drainages like Widemouth Canyon and Thousand Dollar Gulch.

Water is seasonal and scarce in this high-desert environment, traced primarily by Dog Valley Cr and Cove Cr. Distinctive geomorphological features such as The Pyramids and the constricted passage of The Narrows provide clear landmarks for those navigating the backcountry. Dog Valley Mtn and Dog Valley Peak serve as the primary topographic anchors, overlooking a network of primitive routes like Trail 1500 that penetrate the mountain front.
