About this map

Dixie National Forest covers this high-altitude landscape in Garfield County, characterized by a complex network of trails and water management features. Lower Bowns Reservoir and the Oak Cr Reservoir serve as primary water bodies, while smaller alpine features like Steep Cr Lake, Round Lake, and Scout Lake dot the terrain. The presence of named grazing areas such as Wildcat Pasture, Parks Pasture, and Bear Flat suggests a legacy of high-country ranching.

Major transit routes like State Rte 12 cross the map, but the area is primarily defined by its backcountry access. Detailed trail mapping shows the Great Western Trail winding through the western sector near Bowns Point and Boulder Mtn. Named topographical landmarks including Sawmill Bench, Windmill Ridge, and Point Lookout provide specific reference points for those studying the physical history and land use of this mountain territory.
