About this map

The Manti-La Sal National Forest dominates this mid-1960s survey, revealing a high-altitude landscape defined by drainage basins and summer reservoirs. The Indian Creek Administrative Site (USFS) serves as a focal point for forest management near the prominent Ferron Reservoir. The map illustrates the careful water management of the era through features like Duck Fork Reservoir and Jet Fox Reservoir, which are connected by a network of trails and unimproved roads.

Ridges and peaks provide clear landmarks for navigation, from High Top and Cove Mountain to the distinct geological formation of The White Slides. The presence of Skyline Drive along the western edge highlights the region's accessibility for recreational and administrative use, while numerous named flats like Twelvemile Flat and Singleton Flat indicate the varying topography used for campgrounds and livestock grazing in the Sanpete County highlands.
