About this map

Fishlake National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape in Sevier County, where the alpine terrain transitions between the U M Plateau and the Wasatch Plateau. The topography is defined by significant peaks and ridges, including the prominent Hilgard Mtn and Windstorm Peak. Water sources are scattered across the high country, from the Emerald Lakes in the northwest to the Willies Flat Reservoir and Porcupine Spring further south.

Transport through this wilderness relies on an extensive network of foot and pack trails rather than developed roads. The Great Western Trail serves as a primary artery, connecting various remote locales such as Black Flat and Sheep Valley. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern management of these public lands, noting complex drainage systems like U M Creek and North Last Chance Creek that carve through the Tidwell Slopes.
