About this map

Fishlake National Forest encompasses the high mountain ridges and deep drainages along the border of Millard and Sevier Counties. High points such as Joseph Peak and Lion Peak dominate the skyline, while the landscape below is defined by complex canyon systems like Kanosh Canyon and Sam Stowe Canyon. The distribution of water is critical in this high-altitude environment, evidenced by named sources such as Big Spring, Pond Spring, and Cottonwood Spring.

Logistical movement through these mountains follows natural gaps like Coalbed Pass, while a network of 4WD tracks and trails connects isolated points like Indian Flat and Gay Flat. Small-scale water management is visible at Gardener Hollow Reservoirs and Chokecherry Res, providing vital resources for livestock and wildlife. The naming conventions throughout the area, from Graveyard Hollow to Monument Hill, suggest a landscape deeply tied to early local exploration and land use.
