2023 Map of Mount Dutton

About this map

Mt Dutton and Mt Pierson anchor the high elevations of the Sevier Plateau within the Dixie National Forest, defining a landscape where water management and high-country transit were critical to local land use. The map reveals a complex network of springs and man-made water storage, including Rocky Ford Reservoir, Jones Corral Reservoir, and the Mule Flat Reservoir. These features, along with names like Dipping Vat Spring and Jones Corral Draw, point to the area's legacy of high-altitude livestock grazing. The transition from the low-lying Circle Valley in the northwest to the peaks of the south reflects the topographic variety of Garfield County. A series of specialized routes, such as the Mule Flat Trl and Mud Springs Connector Trl, facilitate movement across the flats and through canyons like Pole Canyon, connecting remote outposts like Winnemucca Flat to the broader drainage systems of Lost Creek and Forest Creek.
