About this map

High-elevation alpine lakes and managed forest infrastructure define this section of the Ashley National Forest during the mid-1990s. The landscape is dominated by the storage and movement of water, centered on the Paradise Park Reservoir and the Whiterocks River drainage. Federal management of these public lands is evident in the inclusion of the Paradise Guard Station and the Paradise Creek Campground, which served as hubs for both administrative oversight and recreational access.

The terrain transitions from the high peaks like Paradise Peak down to table-like features such as Mesa and the Hen Lee Bench. This 1996 revision detail also shows a network of seasonal water bodies, including Kibah Lakes, Lily Lake, and the remote Cliff Lake. The presence of numerous named parks, including Dead Horse Park and Julius Park, indicates a region of grassy high-altitude openings utilized for grazing or wildlife habitat within the larger forest boundary.
