2011 Map of Potato Lakes

About this map

East Fork Rock Creek and its complex network of tributaries carve through this Granite County landscape, shaped by decades of water management and resource extraction. The presence of the Ant Mine near the headwaters of South Fork Antelope Creek highlights the mineral interests that have long driven development in these mountains. Irrigation infrastructure, including the Flint Creek Canal and the Carey Lateral, demonstrates the engineering required to support downstream agriculture, while the East Fork Reservoir serves as a primary water storage hub. Evidence of local place-naming traditions appears in landmarks such as Schoolmarm Gulch, Corral Gulch, and Dearborn Gulch. Recreational use is centered around the Potato Lakes and dedicated sites like Spillway Campground and East Fork Campground, reflecting the area's transition into a modern forest-use corridor served by Georgetown Lake Rd.
