1980 Map of Monroe Peak

About this map

The town of Monroe sits at the edge of a high-altitude wilderness where water management and recreation define the local economy. Established water works like the South Bend Canal, Bertlesen Ditch, and a Power Plant illustrate the irrigation and infrastructure required to support life at the base of Glenwood Mountain. The rugged geography of the Fishlake National Forest dominates the sheet, featuring high-country landmarks such as Monroe Peak and the varied alpine terrain of Monroe Meadows and Sage Flat. For those exploring the backcountry, the map details a network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails leading to remote locales like Monrovian Park Campground, Fitzgerald Park, and Mud Lake. The convergence of Monroe Creek with its numerous forks, including the First Lefthand Fork and Second Lefthand Fork, highlights the complex drainage system of this part of the Sevier and Piute county line.
