About this map

Roger Peak and the high ridges of the Dixie National Forest dominate this section of the Colorado Plateau, where high-altitude lakes and deep drainage basins define the geography. The map reveals a complex system of drainage and relief, ranging from the sheer drop of Death Hollow and its Right Fork to prominent elevations like Mt Ogden and the King Bench plateau.

Logistics in this demanding environment are traced through historic routes such as the Great Western Trail and the Rogers Peak Trail, which intersect with the high-elevation Hells Backbone Rd. Water sources are critical landmarks here, including Mc Gath Lake, Donkey Lake, and the winding paths of Grimes Cr and Sweetwater Cr. The map captures the administrative and physical landscape before major modern alterations, preserving the footprint of cattle-ranching benches and forest management trails.
