About this map

Scofield Reservoir dominates the eastern basin of this landscape, its waters contained within the high-altitude terrain of the Manti-La Sal National Forest. This 2014 survey captures a network of access roads and recreation sites, including Scofield State Park and the Fish Creek Campground, which serve as hubs for outdoor activity along the western shoreline. The map reveals the dramatic geography of the Carbon and Utah county line, where steep ridges like Bean Ridge and Fish Creek Ridge divide numerous drainages.

Local place names provide a window into the area's grazing and transit history, with labels such as Andrew Dairy Canyon and The Backswitch suggesting the practical ways early settlers and travelers navigated the canyons. The western portion of the sheet remains largely undeveloped, characterized by remote features like Starvation Canyon and the curiously named Eternal Flat, linked only by forest roads like Pond Town Rd and Starvation Rd.
