About this map

Fishlake National Forest dominates this 1980 survey, revealing a landscape defined by water management and high-altitude recreation. The northern reaches show the edges of Monroe, where the South Bend Canal and Bertlesen Ditch navigate the base of the mountains near a Gravel Pit and Power Plant. As the terrain rises toward Monroe Peak, the map documents a network of pack trails and jeep trails connecting remote locations like Oscars Vision and the Devils Dutch Oven.

Evidence of local history and seasonal use is found at Morrovian Park Campground and Fitzgerald Park. The hydrologic patterns of the era are clearly marked by the Scrub Flat Reservoir, Washburn Reservoir, and numerous named springs such as Sawmill Spring and Mud Spring. The boundary between Sevier Co and Piute Co cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, crossing the Greenwich Creek drainage and the livestock grazing areas of Monroe Meadows and Manning Meadows.
