About this map

Fishlake National Forest encompasses the eastern portion of this high-elevation terrain, where the Hurricane Cliffs create a dramatic transition in the south. The landscape is defined by a complex network of drainages and canyons, most notably Kane Canyon and its various branches like South Fork Kane Canyon. Local infrastructure is sparse, characterized by isolated technical sites such as a Communication Site on Beaver Ridge and a Gaging Station located near Big Twist Creek.

The topography transitions from the high Coyote Bench down to the Mouth of the Wash, revealing the importance of water sources in this arid environment. Named springs and tanks, including Kane Spring, Lees Spring, and a Water Tank near the Beaver Co Iron Co line, point to the historical necessity of managing water for cattle or travelers moving along the rugged Copes Dugway Trail or various 4WD routes.
