2020 Map of Johns Peak

About this map

Johns Peak and Kinneys Peak anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Fishlake National Forest, where steep ridges and deep hollows define the drainage patterns of Red Creek and Clear Creek. The terrain is marked by a complex network of forest trails, including Trail 2270 and the Gwt Alt (Tidwell Slopes), which navigate the transitions between open flats like Poverty Flat and secluded pockets such as Sage Hole. At the turn of the 21st century, the area remained largely undeveloped, with Jims Farm in the northeast corner standing as a rare named site of human activity. The map reveals the hydrology of the High Plateaus, tracing how Round Spring and Paradise Valley Lake feed into various forks of Last Chance Creek, illustrating a landscape shaped by seasonal water flow and high-altitude grazing land.
