About this map

Fishlake National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of Monroe Mountain in this 2020 topographical study of Piute County. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of drainages and peaks, including the prominent Malmsten Peak and the nearby Twin Peaks. A complex system of water management is evident through numerous upland catchments such as Hell Hole Reservoir, Rock Canyon Reservoir, and Dead Horse Reservoir, which likely serve the livestock grazing still active at Forshea Pasture.

Transport and access are dictated by the steep topography, with a web of named tracks including Pole Canyon Rd, the Seismograph Trail Rd, and the Marysvale Loop E. Named springs such as Swift Spring and Forshea Spring emphasize the critical importance of water sources in this high-desert environment, while geological features like The Elbow and Hells Hole indicate the dramatic erosion patterns typical of the region's canyons.
