About this map

Fishlake National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in Sevier County, where a complex network of forest roads and trails reveals the managed nature of the modern wilderness. The central Rex Reservoir serves as a primary water feature, surrounded by distinct topographic landmarks such as The Rocks and the curiously named Purgatory. The area is defined by a series of high flats and meadows, including Scorups Meadows, Hearthstone Flat, and Smithii Flat, which suggest a long history of seasonal grazing or resource use.

Hydrological features are abundant across the terrain, with names like Kinnikinnick Spring, Fallon Spring, and Kasou Spring marking vital water sources. The rugged character of the geography is underscored by Black Mtn and Squaw Ledge to the north, while the southern reach transitions toward Coonah Bench. A modern recreational and administrative layer is superimposed on the land via the Paiute (D-4) trail system, connecting Soldier Canyon with the various swales and draws that define this portion of the Utah interior.
