2011 Map of Mount Peale

About this map

Mount Peale and Mount Mellenthin dominate this high-elevation landscape within the La Sal Mountains. This 2011 survey captures a remote alpine environment where drainage systems like Geyser Creek and Beaver Creek carve through the terrain. The presence of high-country water bodies such as Dark Canyon Lake, Blue Lake, and the Medicine Lakes suggests a complex glacial or tectonic history typical of these isolated Utah peaks. Access to these summits and basins is defined by rugged corridors including Geyser Pass Rd and Dark Canyon Lake Rd, which connect prominent landmarks like Geyser Pass and Canopy Gap. The map illustrates a transition from the stark summits of Haystack Mountain to the deeply incised Dark Canyon, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the South Fork Beaver Creek and Chicken Creek.
