About this map

Scofield Reservoir dominates the eastern portion of this high-altitude landscape, where the waters of Fish Creek and Pondtown Creek converge. Set within the northern reaches of the Manti-La Sal National Forest, the terrain is defined by a dense network of canyons and ridges, including Bennion Ridge and Fish Creek Ridge. The map documents a rugged interior accessible via routes like Pond Town Rd and the Fish Creek Trl, showing the intersection of recreational lands and natural resources near the Scofield Rec Area.

Named geographical features like Eternal Flat and Andrew Dairy Canyon suggest a history of high-country grazing and seasonal use. The hydrology is intricate, with numerous drainages such as Starvation Creek, French Creek, and the headwaters of the Price River carving through the plateau. This modern survey captures the complex topography and shoreline infrastructure, including residential developments along Lakeshore Dr and Mountain View Dr, contrasting the wild forest interior with established lakeside communities.
