About this map

Wildcat Ranger Sta stands as a focal point for land management within the Dixie National Forest during the early 1950s. This survey of the Garfield County high country reveals a landscape defined by seasonal grazing and water management, where numerous high-elevation reservoirs and lakes like Bowns Reservoir, Oak Creek Reservoir, and Scout Lake supported local livestock and forestry operations. The terrain is marked by distinctive named flats and pastures used for seasonal range, including Wildcat Pasture, Parks Pasture, and Round up Flat. Natural features such as Pleasant Creek and Oak Ridge divide the territory, while the Oak Creek Forest Camp indicates the area's early role in outdoor recreation. The detail includes numerous springs and draws, such as Aspen Spring and Corral Draw, providing a precise look at the hydrology and land use of the Aquarius Plateau region before modern development.
