About this map

Marysvale Peak and the surrounding high-elevation terrain of Fishlake National Forest dominate this 2001 revision, which captures a landscape defined by water management and mineral extraction. The rugged topography is dotted with human interventions, from the Blackbird Mine and a high-altitude Sawmill to an extensive network of 4WD trails that navigate between Miners Ridge and Windy Ridge. A sophisticated system of reservoirs and springs, including Manning Meadows Reservoir, Big Flat Reservoir, and Upper Box Creek Reservoir, highlights the critical role of water storage in this part of Piute County.

Evidence of early habitation and resource use appears at Ogden Cabin and scattered mining sites. The presence of numerous unnamed springs and features like Barney Lake suggests a complex drainage system feeding into canyons such as Anderson Canyon and Smith Canyon. This map serves as a record of the area's transition into a managed forest landscape while retaining the traces of its prospecting past.
