2023 Map of Old Woman Plateau

About this map

Old Woman Plateau and the surrounding high country dominate this high-altitude landscape within Fishlake National Forest. The map documents a complex system of drainage and canyon features, including the Saleratus Benches and the winding course of Saleratus Creek which feeds into the Saleratus Reservoir. Human infrastructure is concentrated primarily in the south at Fremont Junction, where modern transportation corridors intersect near the historic crossing at Emigrant Pass. The presence of Knight Mine Rd and Convulsion Rd hints at the region's industrial and resource extraction history. Significant elevation changes are marked by landmarks like Meadow Gulch Divide and the deep incisions of Tommy Hollow and Trough Hollow, illustrating the difficult passage through these central Utah highlands.
