About this map

Mount Belknap and Mount Baldy dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Beaver and Piute counties. Situated within the Fishlake National Forest, the area reflects a history of high-country resource extraction and water management. The topography is dotted with mining evidence, including the Savar Mine and numerous prospects near Gold Mountain, illustrating the region's mineral interests.

Water storage is central to this environment, with the Indian Creek Reservoir and Manderfield Reservoir situated in the western drainage. The map details a network of high-elevation meadows and grazing lands such as Bullion Pasture and Fish Creek Meadows, alongside established routes like the Trapper Creek Trail. These features highlight the multi-use nature of the forest, balancing early 20th-century mining heritage with modern forestry and water conservation needs.
