About this map

Koosharem sits at the base of the high plateau, serving as the primary hub for this Sevier County landscape where the valley floor meets complex mountain drainage systems. The settlement pattern is defined by water management and access, highlighted by the Magelby Dam and Magelby Reservoir, which capture runoff from Reservoir Creek. Local history is anchored by the Koosharem Cemetery and the Koosharem Campground, reflecting the long-standing community footprint near the banks of Koosharem Creek.

The surrounding terrain is a succession of distinctive peaks and flats, from the northern heights of Cove Mountain and Doe Ridge down to the southern reaches of Thurber Fork. Notable landmarks such as Devils Castle and Tabernacle Ridge overlook a network of seasonal water sources including Christensen Spring and Birch Springs. The presence of Milos Kitchen and various meadows like Bagley Meadows suggests a landscape utilized for summer grazing and seasonal homesteading, connected by a rugged road network including the Monroe Mtn Rd and Central Pasture Rd.
