2014 Map of Hilgard Mountain

About this map

Fishlake National Forest defines the high-elevation landscape of this Sevier County survey, centered on the prominent peak of Hilgard Mtn. The terrain is characterized by a series of high plateaus and distinct depressions, such as Red Creek Hole and The Potholes, which drop away from the broader Wasatch Plateau and U M Plateau. Water management in this arid environment is evident through several upland catchments, including Sheep Valley Reservoir and Willies Flat Reservoir, which capture runoff from the surrounding ridges. To the north, Emerald Lakes sit below the U M Plateau, while the southern reaches are marked by the steep descent of the Tidwell Slopes into West Tidwell Canyon. This map provides a detailed look at the complex hydrography of the region, where headwaters like N Last Chance Cr and Right Fork U M Cr begin their descent through the canyon systems.
