2017 Map of Posy Lake

About this map

Dixie National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where a dense network of paths and named hollows reveals a history of backcountry travel and water management. Named for a local figure, John Allen Bottom sits at the heart of a territory marked by numerous water sources, including Posy Lake, Cyclone Lake, and the marshy Tule Lakes. The map documents a rugged infrastructure of named routes such as the Great Western Trail and the Hells Backbone Rd, which navigate the deep incisions of Death Hollow and Coyote Hollow. These labels point to the area's legacy of ranching and early forest service administration, evidenced by features like Hog Ranch Spring and several designated snowmobile corridors that crisscross the high plateaus.
