About this map

Dixie National Forest covers the high-elevation terrain of the Aquarius Plateau, where a network of trails and primitive roads connects numerous high-country lakes. The central feature, Jacobs Reservoir, sits within Jacobs Valley, serving as a primary water source in this alpine environment. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Boulder Mtn down to the recessed areas of Dark Valley and Broken Draw.

Transport through this part of Garfield County relies on historical routes like the Great Western Trail and various specialized paths such as the Great Western OHV Alternate and the Boulder Swale ATV Trail. This 2020 survey demonstrates the importance of water management and recreational access in the region, with clusters of small water bodies like Five Lakes, Four Lakes, and Spectacle Lake dotting the plateau surface.
