2017 Map of Ferron Canyon

About this map

The Wasatch Plateau dominates this portion of the Manti-LaSal National Forest, where steep canyons and high flats define the geography of the Sanpete and Emery county line. A network of high-elevation paths, including the Big Bear Creek Trail and the Dairy Trail, suggests a landscape long utilized for livestock movement and transit between the plateaus. Notable geological features like Steamboat Point and The Narrows overlook the winding Ferron Creek, while scattered water sources such as Lizard Lake and Lone Pine Spring provide critical points of interest in the arid terrain. The map follows the descent from peaks like Ferron Mtn down through Ferron Canyon, tracing the historic routes that connect the high timber and grazing lands to the valleys below.
