About this map

The Manti-Lasal National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape in Emery County, Utah, where deep drainages like Trail Canyon and Roans Canyon carve through the plateau. This 2017 survey details the complex network of ridges and basins, including the prominent Mahogany Point and the high summit of Trail Mtn. Historically significant infrastructure is visible in the CCC Trail - Trail Mtn, reflecting the legacy of New Deal-era conservation labor in the American West.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of Snow Lake, North Point Spring, and the perennial Cottonwood Cr. The map reveals specific local land-use patterns through features like the Reid and Nielson Swale and Cox Swale, alongside geological landmarks such as Clay Banks and the narrow passage of Straight Canyon. This edition preserves the modern boundaries of the forest while documenting the physical geography of the Wasatch Plateau.
