2011 Map of Payson Lakes

About this map

Golden Relief Mine and the Syndicate Mine sit on the western slopes of Dry Mountain in this 2011 topographic record of the canyon country south of Payson. The landscape is defined by its recreation and water management systems, including the Maple Dell Camp and Camp Koholowo, alongside several reservoirs such as Big East Reservoir and McClellan Lake. Numerous small dams, including the Maple Lake Dam and Pete Winward Dam, manage the flow of Peteetneet Creek and its tributaries as they descend through named canyons like Bear Canyon and Frank Young Canyon. This survey documents the intersection of industrial history and modern public land use, showing established sites like the Payson Lakes Campground and Blackhawk Campground near family-named landmarks like the Minnie Simmons Spring and Wimmer Ranch Creek.
