About this map

The high-altitude mining landscapes of Fishlake National Forest dominate this Piute County region at the turn of the 21st century. High peaks such as Mount Brigham, Edna Peak, and Copper Belt Peak tower over a complex network of canyons and gulches that fueled the local mineral economy for generations. Evidence of this extractive history is found at the Silver King Mine, Rainbow Mine, and the sprawling Deer Trail Mine near Deer Trail Mountain.

Water moves through these peaks via steep drainages like Bullion Creek, which features the notable Bullion Falls, and Threemile Creek. To the east, the Marysvale Canyon floor follows the Sevier River, while the Marysvale Corporate Boundary indicates the encroaching presence of the nearby town. This map provides a detailed view of the rugged access routes used to reach isolated points like Horse Heaven and Little Meadow, preserved here just as modern survey technology refined our understanding of the Piute range.
