About this map

Thousand Lake Mtn and the high-elevation plateaus of Wayne County define this landscape, where the boundaries of Fishlake National Forest meet the western edge of Capitol Reef National Park. This territory is a complex network of hydrological features and grazing lands, from the prominent Flat Top and Point Lookout to the many springs and reservoirs that support life in the high desert.

Water management is evident through features like Neff Reservoir, Deep Cr Lake, and Heart Lake, along with numerous named springs such as Clay Dugway Spring and Hickman Spring. Evidence of high-country land use is found at Wiffs Pasture and near Paradise Draw, illustrating how the terrain was utilized before more modern conservation designations. Historical transit corridors are marked by Billings Pass and the rugged drainage of Sulphur Cr, which carve through the ridges of Polk Creek Ridge and Deep Creek Ridge.
