2017 Map of Johns Peak

About this map

Fishlake National Forest encompasses the high-elevation terrain of this Sevier County survey, centered on the prominent spire of Johns Peak. The landscape is a complex network of draws and flats, including Poverty Flat and Sign Board Flat, which served as reference points for early forest management. Settlement activity is sparse, marked primarily by Jims Farm in the northeast, while water sources like Paradise Valley Lake and the intermittent headwaters of Last Chance Cr define the local ecology. The map documents an extensive trail system, including the Fremont-Last Chance route and several numbered forest trails like Trail 2273, illustrating how this mountain terrain was navigated before modern road development dominated the region. From the Limestone Cliffs to Kinneys Meadow, the map captures a specific high-plateau environment where ranching history and forest conservation meet.
