2001 Map of Monroe Peak

About this map

Monroe Peak serves as a dominant topographic anchor in this high-altitude landscape of central Utah. Established within the Fishlake National Forest, the terrain is defined by a complex network of canyons and meadows, where water management is central to the area's utility. The presence of the South Bend Canal and the Power Plant near Monroe indicates early 20th-century infrastructure developed to harness the steep descent of Monroe Creek. High-elevation plateaus like Manning Meadows and Monroe Meadows provided critical grazing land, while smaller water bodies such as Lower Hunts Lake and several reservoirs, including Scrub Flat Reservoir, were vital for sustaining the seasonal use of these lands. The map also records recreational developments such as the Monrovian Park Campground and distinctive geographic landmarks like Devils Dutch Oven and Fitzgerald Park.
