About this map

Piute Reservoir dominates this central Utah landscape, collecting the waters of the Sevier River as it flows through the high desert. The western shoreline is defined by the steep rises of the Tushar Mountains and the boundary of the Fishlake National Forest, where deep drainages like Oak Springs Canyon and Bellyache Canyon cut toward the water. The map records a transition from the narrow canyon lands into the broader Marysvale Valley to the north.

Evidence of local history and infrastructure is scattered throughout the valley floor and foothills. Family-named landmarks such as Howes Cem and Gold Gulch provide specific points of interest for genealogists and researchers. Transportation networks are represented by a mix of historic routes and utility roads, including the Junction Airport near the southern edge and various BLM access paths such as Howes Cemetery Rd and Piute State Park Rd circling the reservoir.
