About this map

Fishlake National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Piute and Beaver Counties. This modern survey illustrates the rugged topography of the Tushar Mountains, centered on prominent peaks like Mt Belknap and Mt Baldy. The settlements of Upper Kimberly and Lower Kimberly sit in the northern reaches of the quadrangle, connected by the descriptively named Grasshoppermine Road.

Evidence of the area's resource-based history is found in the deep incision of Bullion Canyon and the expansive Bullion Pasture. Water management is prominent in the west, where Indian Creek Reservoir and Manderfield Reservoir gather runoff from the surrounding slopes. The map also traces an intricate network of drainages, from Fish Creek and its meadows to the headwaters of the Beaver Creek, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of these high alpine basins.
