1896 Map of Fish Lake

About this map

Fish Lake sits at the heart of this late-19th-century reconnaissance of central Utah, marking a high-altitude anchor between the Sevier River and the high plateaus. The map documents a landscape of dramatic geological transitions, from the Coal Cliffs in the east to the Aquarius Plateau in the south. The settlement pattern follows the fertile valleys, with small hubs like Thurber and Fremont established in Rabbit Valley, while Salina and Glenwood flank the northern river corridor.
