About this map

Fishlake National Forest dominates this high-country landscape along the border of Sevier and Wayne Counties. The region is defined by its water management and drainage systems, anchored by the Forsyth Reservoir and Mill Meadow Reservoir at the southern edge of the quadrangle. These reservoirs collect flow from Um Creek and the Fremont River, which winds through significant terrain features such as Splatter Canyon and Crater-Ivie Canyon.

Named peaks and flats like Zedds Mtn, Cedarless Flat, and Danish Meadows indicate a history of local land use, likely tied to grazing or early settlement patterns in Post Hollow and Salt Gulch. The complex network of Forest Service trails, including the Great Western Trail, provides access across the Tidwell Slopes and into secluded areas like East Tidwell Canyon. This 2020 survey documents the modern state of these crucial watersheds and the recreation infrastructure centered at Forsyth CG.
