About this map

Skyline Drive follows the high ridgelines of the Manti-La Sal National Forest in this 1965 survey, providing a detailed look at the watershed management and recreational infrastructure of Sanpete County. High-altitude water storage is a central theme, evidenced by Fairview Lakes, Beaver Dam Reservoir, and the Lower Gooseberry Reservoir. These reservoirs are linked by a complex network of drainages including Gooseberry Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which have shaped the high plateaus and canyons.

Evidence of forest service activity and early outdoor tourism is found at the Mammoth Ranger Sta, Gooseberry Campground, and Flat Canyon Campground. The map also captures specific industrial and infrastructure markers of the mid-20th century, such as a Gravel Pit in Cabin Hollow and a prominent Pipeline traversing Winterquarters Ridge. Notable geographic landmarks like Pine Crown Peak and the branching forks of Swens Fork and Durphys Fork illustrate the complex topography of this Utah mountain landscape.
