About this map

The high alpine country of the Wasatch Plateau is defined by a series of significant reservoirs and ridges within the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Centered around Fairview Lakes and the nearby Beaver Dam Reservoir, the landscape is a network of canyons and forks, including the deep cuts of Fairview Canyon and Boulger Canyon. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks such as Pine Crown Peak and Quake Mountain, which stand above the interconnected drainages of Gooseberry Creek and Cottonwood Creek.

Modern infrastructure for recreation and land management is evident through the winding path of Skyline Drive and several forest tracks like the Oak Creek & Stock Trl. Local place names such as Cabin Hollow and Pinecrest Pass suggest a history of seasonal use and mountain passage. The eastern edge of the survey transitions toward Winterquarters Ridge and Boulger Reservoir, illustrating the water storage systems critical to this high-altitude environment.
