About this map

Fish Lake National Forest dominates this mountain landscape along the border of Millard and Sevier counties. The terrain is defined by high-elevation peaks and ridges, including South Red Ridge and East Mountain, which rise above a series of drainages like Three Creeks and Birch Creek. A Guard Station serves as a central landmark for managing this backcountry area, which is primarily navigated via an intricate network of pack trails and jeep trails.

Hydrography is a significant feature of the quadrangle, with numerous named water sources supporting the local ecosystem, such as Staples Spring, Ferguson Spring, and Red Cedar Spring. The collection of runoff is anchored by the Three Creeks Reservoir in the southern portion of the map. Names like Marys Nipple and Granddad Peak provide a glimpse into the local nomenclature used by surveyors and early residents of the region.
