About this map

Scofield and Clear Creek anchor the eastern edge of the Wasatch Plateau, serving as primary access points to the complex network of ridges and drainages within the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The landscape is defined by deep canyons such as Eccles Canyon and Slaughter-House Canyon, which reveal the coal-rich geology of the Wasatch Plateau. Historical mining activity is evidenced by labels like Number Four Gulch, while the local genealogy is anchored at the Scofield Cem near the town center.

Water management and natural springs are central to the area's geography, with the northern reach dominated by the Scofield Reservoir. Fed by Mud Creek, the reservoir sits at the head of Pleasant Valley. In the west, Upper Huntington Creek flows through high-altitude settlements like Swens Canyon and The Kitchen, tracing the boundary between Sanpete and Carbon counties along the spine of Granger Ridge.
