About this map

The high-elevation landscape of the Paunsaugunt Plateau dominates this portion of the Dixie National Forest, where deep drainages like Casto Canyon and Hancock Canyon carve through the terrain. The map reveals a land utilized for both recreation and ranching, evidenced by the presence of Judd Pasture & Troughs and various spring-fed water sources such as Clarence Creek Spring and Center Creek Spring.

Transport through this isolated region relies on a network of primitive routes and modern recreational paths, including the Great Western Alternate and the Fremont Atv Trail. Named landmarks like Barnhurst Ridge, Mud Spring Bench, and Hancock Peak provide orientation for those navigating the complex topography between Toms Best Spring Rd and the northern reaches of the forest. The drainage patterns of Hancock Cr and West Fork Hunt Cr illustrate the watershed's role in shaping the local geography.
