2002 Map of Pollywog Lake

About this map

The Awapa Plateau and Aquarius Plateau converge in this high-altitude landscape within the Dixie National Forest. A sophisticated network of water management features dominates the terrain, including Pollywog Lake, Wildcat Reservoir, and specialized catchments like Poison Creek Res No 1 and Big Swale Res No 1. The presence of numerous springs, such as Antelope Spring and Jackass Spring, alongside established routes like the Ranger Trail, reflects the area's long-standing use for livestock grazing and forest management. The geography is defined by deep incisions like Death Hollow and Dry Hollow carving through the Escalante Mountains, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Utah highlands. This mapping, revised at the turn of the 21st century, documents the persistent nomenclature of landmarks like Tanner Knoll and Antimony Knoll used by generations of land managers.
