About this map

Panguitch Lake dominates the northeastern corner of this 1985 survey, serving as a primary high-country landmark at the boundary of Iron and Garfield Counties. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Prince Mountain and Blue Spring Mountain, while the southern reaches descend into the Red Desert and the distinct volcanic geography of Black Rock Valley.

Hydrological data is particularly dense here, featuring numerous water sources like Mammoth Spring, Yellowjacket Spring, and Big Spring which feed into drainage systems like Mammoth Creek. Cultural features are sparse within the Dixie National Forest, though the presence of John L Flat and multiple boat ramps along the lake shore suggest the area's use for seasonal grazing and recreation. The map also captures the transition from heavily timbered slopes to the arid open floor of Dry Valley.
