2001 Map of Fish Lake

About this map

Fish Lake dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Fish Lake National Forest, serving as a central hub for recreation and hydrology in the Sevier Co and Wayne Co borderlands. The map reveals a sophisticated network of forest management and tourism at the dawn of the 21st century, centered on the settlement of Fishlake and a series of organized campsites including Doctor Creek Campground and Twin Creeks Campground. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevations, from the Hightop Plateau to the shores of Widgeon Bay. To the northeast, the Johnson Valley Reservoir and its spillway manage the flow of the Fremont River, while features like Elias Wells and Reflection Spring indicate the critical importance of water resources in this alpine environment. The presence of a designated Historic Site near the lake's northern shore suggests a long-standing human connection to this high-mountain basin.
