1981 Map of Piute Reservoir

About this map

Piute Reservoir dominates this central Utah landscape, with the Spillway 5971 controlling the waters at the northern end of the basin. The Sevier River flows northward from the reservoir through a valley marked by local agricultural and burial sites like Howes Cem. To the west, the foothills of the Fishlake National Forest rise sharply, characterized by drainage systems such as Gold Gulch and Tenmile Creek. The area’s resource history is evident in numerous Mine and Gravel Pit workings scattered along the canyon edges. On the southern edge, the map records the Corporate Boundary of Junction, near the Junction Airport and another small Cem. The rugged eastern terrain is defined by The Elbow and the meandering path of Swift Spring Creek, showcasing the transition from irrigated valley floors to high mountain draws.
