About this map

Fishlake National Forest dominates the western half of this Sevier County landscape, giving way to the irrigated agricultural lands of the Sevier Valley. The central corridor is defined by the Sevier River and a complex network of man-made waterways, including the Brooklyn Canal, Richfield Canal, Monroe Canal, and the Sevier Valley Canal. These systems trace the contours of the valley floor, supporting the settlements of Elsinore, Monroe, and Joseph.

To the north and west, the terrain rises sharply into features like Watts Mtn and Albinus Canyon, crisscrossed by numerous numbered trails such as Trail 1515 and Trail 1490. This intersection of managed forest land, steep canyon terrain, and the valley’s water-dependent agricultural grid illustrates the critical role of river-fed irrigation in sustaining these mountain-side communities. Local history is anchored by the Elsinore Cem and landmarks like Raphaelsen Canyon and Joseph Flats.
