1968 Map of Geyser Peak

About this map

Fishlake National Forest encompasses much of this high-elevation landscape, where the transition from Tidwell Slopes to the Limestone Cliffs reveals a complex network of canyons and high basins. The topography is defined by significant landmarks like Geyser Peak and the Capitol Reef Monument at the southeastern boundary. Water resources were clearly central to land use here in the late 1960s, evidenced by a string of small alpine water bodies including Floating Island Lake, Meeks Lake, and Solomon Reservoir.
