1968 Map of Fish Lake

About this map

The high alpine waters of Fish Lake and the Johnson Valley Res dominate this 1960s study of the Utah high country. Sitting at an elevation of 8843 feet, the lake is flanked by the Hightop Plateau and the Mytoge Mountains, serving as a focal point for recreation within the Fish Lake National Forest. The map documents a well-developed network of lakeside infrastructure, including the Fish Lake Ranger Sta, several dedicated camping areas such as Mackinaw Campground and Pelican Point Campground, and public Boat Ramps. The surrounding terrain is intricately detailed with seasonal drainages like Lake Creek and Tasha Creek, alongside a series of high-altitude springs including Reflection Spring and Silas Spring. This period of the forest's history is characterized by a balance of established campgrounds and primitive pack trails that lead into deep canyons like Widgeon Canyon and Pelican Canyon.
