1996 Map of Manila

About this map

The town of Manila serves as the gateway to a dramatic landscape defined by the impounded waters of the Green River and the canyon walls of Flaming Gorge. This survey, updated in the late 1990s, documents the interface between the agricultural valley floors of Lucerne Valley and South Valley and the steep terrain of the Ashley National Forest. Along the western shore of Flaming Gorge Reservoir, the map identifies localized recreational infrastructure including the Sheep Creek Boat Ramp and remote sites like Kingfisher Boat Camp on the river's edge. Further south, the high country is marked by Windy Ridge and Dowd Mountain, featuring ecological exclosures like the Death Valley Exclosure. The presence of the Summit Springs Guard Station and the Ranger District Headquarters underscores the area's administration as a public recreation and forest resource.
