About this map

The Manti-La Sal National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of this Sanpete County region, where the Wasatch Plateau meets a complex network of canyons and ridges. Historically significant for its water management and recreation, the area features the Narrows Tunnel and several key alpine catchments including Lower Gooseberry Reservoir, Beaver Dam Reservoir, and Fairview Lakes. The seasonal settlement patterns are evident at the Beaver Dams Summer Homes Area, a cluster of residences near the intersection of State Hwy 31 and State Hwy 264.

Outdoor heritage is central to this geography, from the Snowland Ski Area on the slopes of the plateau to the Gooseberry Campground and Flat Canyon Campground. Geologic landmarks such as Winterquarters Ridge and Oak Creek Ridge frame the drainage basins of Gooseberry Creek and Cottonwood Creek, illustrating the challenging terrain that shaped early surveying and transit routes like the high-elevation Skyline Drive.
