About this map

Malmsten Peak and the surrounding high country of the Fishlake National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape in southern Utah. This part of Piute County is defined by a network of drainage canyons and high plateaus, where livestock management and water conservation are evident through labels like Forshea Pasture and several isolated reservoirs. The placement of Tuft Reservoir, Dead Horse Reservoir, and Rock Canyon Reservoir across these elevations suggests a sophisticated system for managing seasonal runoff in this arid mountain environment.

Transportation through the steep terrain relies on specialized routes such as Little Cottonwood Rd and the Seismograph Trail Rd, which navigate between prominent summits like Forshea Mtn and the Twin Peaks. The prominence of named water sources, including Brindley Spring and Sevy Spring, highlights the critical importance of reliable water for those traversing the canyons of the T28S and T29S ranges.
