1970 Map of Pollywog Lake

About this map

Dixie National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in the early 1970s, where the transition between the Awapa Plateau and the Aquarius Plateau is marked by a complex system of water management. Numerous reservoirs, including Wildcat Reservoir, Pollywog Lake, and the numbered basins at Death Hollow and Big Swale, illustrate the critical importance of water storage in this arid timberland. The presence of the Salt Lake Meridian bisecting the survey area highlights the systematic grid of western land division, while labels like Antimony Creek and Antimony Knoll reflect the area's geological and mineral history. This survey captures a network of jeep trails and seasonal springs, such as Jackass Spring and Indian Spring, which supported livestock and forest management before modern infrastructure reached these remote elevations.
