1896 Map of Fish Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Fish Lake sits atop the high Fish Lake Plateau, a focal point of this late 19th-century reconnaissance survey in central Utah. The landscape is defined by massive uplifted plateaus and deep drainage systems, including the Aquarius Plateau and Awapa Plateau. Small agrarian settlements are clustered in the fertile lowlands of Grass Valley and Rabbit Valley, where towns like Thurber and Fremont were establishing their footprint before the modern road systems were fully developed. To the east, the topography shifts dramatically toward the Water Pocket Curve and the San Rafael Swell, illustrating the transition from forested highlands to the arid canyon country. Surveyed by the Powell Survey, the map captures the early configuration of public lands across Fishlake National Forest and Powell National Forest, showing a network of creeks like Salina Creek and Muddy Creek that sustained these isolated communities.
