About this map

Fishlake National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the Sevier and Wayne County lines intersect near the southern edge of the survey. The terrain is defined by a series of significant flat-topped formations and basins, including Jones Bench, Foy Bench, and the expansive Solomon Basin. Water resources are sparse but critical, represented by high-elevation bodies such as Solomon Reservoir, Meeks Lake, and the uniquely named Floating Island Lake.

Transportation through this wilderness relies on a dense network of numbered Forest Service routes and the long-distance Great Western Trail, Loa, which traverses the western slopes. From the towering heights of Geyser Peak to the descent into Capitol Reef National Park at the southeastern corner, the map illustrates the complex drainage patterns of Temple Wash and Rock Spring Wash that carve through the high plateaus.
