About this map

Manti - La Sal National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Sanpete County, where specialized mountain infrastructure and recreation sites define the region's character at the turn of the 21st century. The map highlights the Ferron Reservoir Summer Home Area and a nearby Resort, signaling a shift toward seasonal residency and alpine tourism near the water. Higher elevations are traversed by the prominent Skyline Drive and the Western Trail, following the ridges between peaks like Cove Mountain and Lake Mountain.

Water management is central to this area's geography, as seen in the clustered basins of Ferron Reservoir, Duck Fork Reservoir, and Jet Fox Reservoir. These high-country pools, along with natural features like Harmonica Lake and Cove Lake, feed a complex network of creeks including Indian Creek and Ferron Creek. The inclusion of the Indian Cr Admin Site reflects the ongoing federal stewardship of these timber and water resources.
