1971 Map of Red Creek Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Dixie National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Iron and Garfield counties, where a complex network of canyons and valleys facilitates seasonal livestock movement and water management. The Red Creek Reservoir, supported by a Gaging Station, serves as a critical hydrological hub for the drainage basins of Red Creek and its many tributaries. This 1971 survey captures a moment when the region was defined by rugged backcountry access, evidenced by the extensive web of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails winding through Horse Valley and Butler Valley. Distinctive geological and hydrological features like the Co-op Valley Sinks and numerous named springs, including Cove Spring and Mud Springs, highlight the vital importance of water sources in this arid timberland. Small upland bodies of water such as Hoosier Lake and Horse Lake provide further points of orientation within the dense topography of System Canyon and Caddy Canyon.
