About this map

Salina Reservoir and a series of high-elevation catchments define this 2011 survey of the Fishlake National Forest area in Sevier County. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of drainage systems, including the namesake Gooseberry Creek and its tributaries like Sheep Creek and Hoodoo Creek. The presence of numerous engineered water bodies such as Hamilton Reservoir, Farnsworth Reservoir, and Harves River Reservoir indicates the critical importance of water management and storage in this part of the Wasatch Plateau.

Surface features are largely natural, with Gates Lake and isolated water sources like Creepy Spring and Cold Spring punctuating the topography. The map detail reflects the region's character as a managed wilderness, where the primary human footprint consists of Forest Service routes and specialized infrastructure for irrigation or livestock. Researchers can trace the path of Oak Ridge Rd as it traverses the high ground between Gates Creek and Niotche Creek, providing access to these remote watershed features.
