About this map

Fishlake National Forest encompasses the eastern high ground of this Utah landscape, where the terrain transitions through a series of complex drainages and canyons. The map documents a topography defined by significant vertical reliefs, from the Hurricane Cliffs in the south to the high elevations of Horse Flat and Porkies Pasture in the north. Water sources are critical markers in this arid environment, represented by Kane Spring, Lees Spring, and the Rocky Reservoir.

A network of historical access routes including South Creek Rd and the South Creek-Coyote track provides passage through named gaps like The Narrows and Kane Canyon. The survey also identifies several descriptive local landmarks such as Pot Gut, Nevershine Hollow, and Wide Mouth Wash, illustrating how early settlers and surveyors named the land based on its distinct physical characteristics and utility for grazing.
