1965 Map of Fairview Lakes

About this map

Manti-La Sal National Forest dominates this high-altitude terrain in the mid-1960s, defined by a complex network of canyons and critical water management infrastructure. The hydrology of the area is anchored by the Fairview Lakes and the Lower Gooseberry Reservoir, with the Narrows Tunnel and an Intake Gate indicating the engineering required to manage resources in this part of the Wasatch Plateau. The Skyline Drive traverses the ridges, providing access to remote outposts like the Mammoth Ranger Sta and seasonal recreational sites including the Gooseberry Campground and Flat Canyon Campground. Numerous family-named or descriptive geographic features such as Durphys Fork, Japanese Hollow, and Pine Crown Peak suggest a landscape long utilized for grazing, timber, and watershed protection.
