1969 Map of Scipio Lake

About this map

Scipio Lake and the broad expanse of Round Valley dominate this late 1960s survey of the Utah interior. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the high, timbered ridges of the Fishlake National Forest to the west and the arid Valley Mountains to the east. Water management and livestock history are evident through features like the dam at Ivie Creek and the presence of several flowing wells and named springs. Genealogy and local history interest is concentrated in the northern valley where Graves are marked near the lake shore, and in the southern mountain recesses where the Maple Grove Campground sits. The map documents an intricate network of trails, including a dedicated pack trail system and various jeep trails navigating through Hans Pumpernickle Canyon and across Pharo Ridge.
