1980 Map of Mahustan Peak

About this map

Fishlake National Forest dominates this 1980 survey, revealing a landscape defined by water management and high-altitude topography. The map illustrates a network of small, specialized water catchments, including Hell Hole Reservoir, Tuft Reservoir, and Dead Horse Reservoir, which highlight the critical role of moisture control in this arid environment. Significant elevation markers like Mahustan Peak and the Twin Peaks anchor the southern reach of the quadrangle, while the terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Cottonwood Canyon and Tibadore Canyon. Sparse human activity is evident through scattered prospects and a network of jeep trails that navigate the slopes. The naming conventions, from Sevy Spring to Forshea Spring, suggest the historical presence of early ranching families or surveyors who once navigated these high Utah ridges.
