About this map

The Manti-La Sal National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the Utah-Colorado border, where deep drainages like Cottonwood Canyon and Sallys Hollow carve through the plateau. At the center of the sheet, Pace Lake sits at the head of local water networks, including John Brown Creek and the headwaters of Deep Creek. The map documents a rugged interior geography marked by high-elevation features such as Beaver Mesa and the wide depression of Kirks Basin.

Evidence of historical land use and resource management is visible through the remote Fish & Game Cabin and several mines and Prospects located near the northeast corner. The dramatic geology of the area is highlighted by the sheer descent into Sinbad Valley, bounded by the prominent Sinbad Ridge. This survey reflects the remote character of Grand County, Utah, where primary access is limited to 4wd routes traversing the forest and canyons.
