1968 Map of Geyser Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Geyser Peak stands as the topographic centerpiece of this high-elevation wilderness south of Hogan Pass in the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by the massive Limestone Cliffs and the northern reaches of Capitol Reef, where the terrain drops toward Jones Bench. Water sources are critical landmarks in this environment, with numerous high-country basins such as Solomon Basin and Garden Basin hosting essential cattle tanks and natural catchments like Solomon Reservoir, Floating Island Lake, and Meeks Lake. A network of jeep trails provides the only access through Fishlake National Forest, crossing from Tidwell Canyon toward the high ridges. This survey provides a record of land management and water engineering in a region where names like Morrell Pond, Farrell Pond, and Oles Pond mark the long-standing use of the territory by local ranchers.
