About this map

A W A T C H P L A T E A U dominates this 1969 landscape where the high-altitude terrain of the Dixie National Forest is defined by a complex network of seasonal catchments and landmarks. The geography is punctuated by volcanic or erosional features like North Butte, Middle Butte, and South Butte, alongside named high points such as Flossie Knoll and Cedar Peak.

Water management in this arid stretch of Wayne County is evident through numerous small basins, including Gripe Reservoir, Ottos Reservoir, and the Death Hollow Reservoir series. These features, along with Flossie Lake and Tri-Corner Pond, suggest a landscape utilized for livestock grazing and watershed control. The map also captures the tri-county intersection where Wayne, Piute, and Garfield counties meet, reflecting the remote administrative boundaries of the Utah high country.
