1978 Map of Scofield Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Scofield Reservoir dominates the eastern basin of this high-elevation plateau, serving as a critical water resource at the intersection of Utah, Carbon, and Sanpete counties. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from Dry Valley up to the ridges of the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Evidence of the region’s industrial and transit history is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that winds through Starvation Canyon near the distinctive hairpin turn known as The Backswitch. This infrastructure once supported the movement of goods and people across the Bear Ridge backcountry. Recreational development in the late 1970s is captured at the Scofield Lake State Recreation Area and Fish Creek Campground. Smaller localities and family-named landmarks like Bennion, Kelly, and Eternal Flat are documented alongside specialized sites like the Bear Prospect and the Gaging Sta along Fish Creek.
