About this map

Panguitch Lake Resort sits at the eastern edge of this high-elevation plateau, where the waters of Panguitch Lake meet the vast timberlands of the Dixie National Forest. The landscape is a complex of volcanic landforms and high valleys, defined by features like Blue Spring Mtn and the volcanic prominence of Miller Knoll. Drainage patterns are shaped by numerous seasonal and perennial flows, including Mammoth Cr and Bunker Cr, which carve through the volcanic geology of the Markagunt Plateau.

Evidence of the region's diverse terrain is found in the contrast between the open Red Desert and the high grazing grounds of John L Flat. Small water sources such as Blue Spring and Yellowjacket Spring are critical markers for local geography and historic land use. The boundary between Iron and Garfield counties bisects the map, passing through Blue Spring Valley and north toward Prince Mtn, illustrating the high-country divide that has long influenced settlement and resource management in this part of Southern Utah.
