About this map

Posy Lake and its surrounding highlands define this high-altitude landscape in the southern Utah mountains. The area is characterized by a dense network of springs and alpine lakes, including Cyclone Lake, Tule Lakes, and Green Lake, which feed the various branches of Deep Creek and Pine Creek. These water sources were vital for early seasonal grazing and later recreation, as evidenced by the establishment of Posy Lake Campground and Blue Spruce Campground.

Named geographic features like John Allen Bottom and Wide Hollow suggest a history of localized land use, while more remote water points such as Hog Ranch Spring and The Gap Spring speak to the necessity of reliable water in this arid upland environment. Navigation through the complex drainage systems is primarily facilitated by Forest Rd 154, which connects these disparate water bodies across the plateau.
