About this map

Panguitch Lake sits at the heart of this high-altitude landscape within the Dixie National Forest, serving as a central hydrological landmark for the surrounding terrain. Recorded in the late 1950s, the map illustrates a remote environment defined by survey markers and land use points like the Ranger Station Forest Camp and the Gaging Sta. The distribution of natural features such as Prince Mountain and the expansive Blue Spring Valley suggests a region utilized for its natural resources and seasonal access.

Industrial activity is noted through scattered sites including a Coal Pit and Gravel Pit, while travel is restricted to a network of Trails and Jeep Trails, including the Spring Creek Trail. The intersection of county boundaries for Iron, Kane, and Garfield highlights the administrative complexity of managing these forest lands. This survey captures a specific era of mountain stewardship and resource extraction before modern developments, preserving the original place-names of peaks like Henrie and valleys such as Castle Valley.
