About this map

Boulder Mountain dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Dixie National Forest, showcasing a complex network of alpine lakes and springs. The terrain is characterized by massive volcanic plateaus and basalt flows, where landmarks like Government Point and Lookout Peak rise above a series of named flats and coves. The hydrological pattern is remarkably dense for the region, featuring Alkali Lake, Pine Creek Reservoir, and the clusters of Snow Lakes and Bullberry Lakes.

Evidence of historical land use appears in the naming of Logging Grove and Peterson Grove, while the presence of the Great Western Trail and the Lone Pine Trail indicates the area's importance for transit across the plateau. The map also records numerous unsurveyed areas, marked as protracted blocks such as PB 43 and PB 50, reflecting the management of these public lands at the start of the 21st century.
