About this map

Fishlake National Forest and Capitol Reef National Park meet in this high-altitude landscape along the border of Sevier and Wayne Counties. The area is defined by a network of upland water sources and distinct landforms, including Geyser Peak and the nearby Garden Basin. Movement through this high country is largely dictated by established routes like the Great Western Trail and the Gwt Alt (Tidwell Slopes) Trl.

Strategic water management is evident in the cluster of high-elevation reservoirs and lakes, such as Solomon Reservoir, Floating Island Lake, and Meeks Lake, which sit below the Solomon Basin. The topography ranges from the steep Limestone Cliffs in the northeast to the descent into Salt Gulch in the southwest, showcasing the varied drainage patterns of Birch Creek and Solomon Creek that have shaped the territory.
