About this map

The high-altitude terrain of the Aquarius Plateau defines this portion of the Dixie National Forest, mapped here in the late 1960s. The landscape is a complex network of glacial basins and volcanic plateaus, characterized by numerous small alpine lakes and depressions such as the Row Lakes and the cluster at Five Lakes. Jacobs Reservoir serves as a primary water feature, fed by Jacobs Valley and drained by Pine Creek.

Human presence is marked primarily by traditional land use and movement, indicated by the Corrals near the Boulder Mountain Plateau and an extensive system of primitive routes including the Pack Trail and various Jeep Trails. Significant topographic landmarks like South Point, Burr Top, and the deep incision of Dark Valley provide a clear view of the area's drainage patterns toward Boulder Creek and Sand Creek.
