About this map

The high plateau and mountain terrain of the Fishlake National Forest dominates this mid-1930s survey of the Sevier region. This landscape is defined by its administrative and ranching outposts, featuring several remote facilities such as the Rockwood Ranger Sta and the Pavant Ranger Sta. These stations, along with Parker Ranch and the small settlement of Pitsburg in the southeast corner, illustrate a sparse human footprint centered on land management and livestock in the Tushar Mountains.

The transportation network of the era is anchored by the Denver & Rio Grande Western RR following the river valley through The Narrows. Deep drainages like Corn Creek and Cottonwood Creek carve through prominent ridges, including Red Ridge and the Big Bench. High-elevation landmarks like Marysvale Peak and The Pyramids provide a clear sense of the vertical relief that shaped the region's early development and road placement.
