About this map

The Manti-La Sal National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the summit of High Top stands as a prominent landmark along the Wasatch Plateau. The 2023 survey illustrates a complex hydrological network centered around the Ferron Reservoir, which feeds into Indian Creek and Little Horse Creek. This area is defined by its dramatic topography, featuring deep canyons like Middle Fork Manti Canyon and high points such as Petty Peak and Cove Mtn.

High-altitude flats and ridges, including Singleton Flat and Buck Ridge, separate the various forks and creeks. The map provides a contemporary record of forest access, tracing the path of Skyline Dr as it winds along the western peaks. Distinctive geologic features like The White Slides near Willow Lake highlight the area's unique environmental character. Researchers can trace the drainage patterns from Harmonica Lake down through Cold Creek, reflecting the importance of water management in this part of the state.
