1958 Map of Panguitch Lake

About this map

Panguitch Lake sits as the central focal point of this 1958 survey, surrounded by the high-elevation terrain of the Dixie National Forest. The landscape is a complex intersection of volcanic geology and high-country hydrology, with expansive lava flows and lava rock fields surrounding water features like Aspen-Mirror Lake and the subterranean curiosity of Mammoth Cave. The area's history of livestock and land use is visible through family-named landmarks such as John Cameron Troughs and Cameron Troughs, as well as localized industry at the Coal Pit near Haycock Mountain. Scattered through the timber are important administrative and recreational sites including a Ranger Station and Forest Camp. The map documents a network of primitive transportation, where jeep trails and footpaths provide access to remote springs like Yellowjacket Spr and Bowers Spring.
