1985 Map of Henrie Knolls

About this map

Dixie National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the volcanic and limestone geology of the Markagunt Plateau dictates the movement of water. A notable hydrogeological feature is the Duck Creek Sinks, where surface water from Duck Creek enters subterranean channels, a characteristic of this plateau's karst-like terrain. The map reveals a high-country environment defined by timber and seasonal water sources, including Aspen Mirror Lake, Duck Lake, and numerous named springs like Anderson Spring and Bowers Spring. These water points were critical for livestock and forest management as the region transitioned into a modern recreational and resource area. High points like Henrie Knolls and the Strawberry Knolls overlook a series of high valleys such as Tippets Valley and Red Valley, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns before they reach the lower basins of southern Utah.
