1985 Map of Flat Top

About this map

Thousand Lake Mountain dominates the western half of this Utah high-country landscape, marked by a dense concentration of volcanic and alpine features. In this 1985 survey, the transition between the lush higher elevations of the Fishlake National Forest and the stark geological exposures of Capitol Reef National Park is clearly defined. Notable landmarks such as Flat Top and the Waterpocket Fold illustrate the dramatic uplift and erosion patterns characteristic of Wayne County. The map details an intricate network of high-altitude water sources including Deep Creek Lake, Snow Lake, and the cluster of Round Lake Springs. Local names like Wiffs Pasture and Hells Hole provide geographical context for historic grazing and exploration in this portion of the Colorado Plateau.
