About this map

Scofield Reservoir dominates the eastern drainage of this 2017 survey, where the boundaries of Utah, Carbon, and Sanpete counties converge. The high-altitude landscape is defined by the western reaches of the Manti-Lasal National Forest, a terrain of steep ridges and deep canyons including Starvation Canyon and Kelly Canyon. Early land use is evident in family-named landmarks such as Andrew Dairy Canyon and Wife Canyon, suggesting the area's history of summer grazing and homesteading.

Modern recreation and access are etched into the topography via the Fish Creek Trail and various corridors like Lakeshore Dr and Rainbow Blvd near the water's edge. Notable high points like Pleasant Valley Point and Bear Ridge provide a sense of the dramatic elevation changes that characterize this portion of the Wasatch Plateau. Isolated flats, such as Eternal Flat, offer a contrast to the heavily dissected slopes of Fish Creek Ridge.
