About this map

Scofield Reservoir dominates the drainage patterns of this high-elevation landscape, where numerous creeks including Pondtown Creek and Fish Creek converge. The topography is defined by a series of deep canyons and prominent ridges, such as Bear Ridge and Big Ridge, which funnel water toward the reservoir's eastern basin. Within Scofield State Park, recreational infrastructure is clearly marked, including the Fish Creek Campground and Scofield Campground, highlighting the area's role as a regional hub for mountain access.

Local landmarks such as The Backswitch and Pleasant Valley Point indicate the challenging nature of the terrain for early road builders and ranchers. Pockets of level ground like Eternal Flat stand out against the steep descents of Andrew Dairy Canyon and Tucker Canyon. Several named water sources, including Starvation Spring and Bishop Spring, point to the critical importance of reliable water for livestock and travel through this part of Utah.
