About this map

The Tushar Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape, centered on the prominent Shelly Baldy Peak. This 2011 survey reveals a region defined by recreational infrastructure and seasonal mountain pastures, including the Mount Holly Ski Area and the Mahogany Cove Campground. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the Three Creeks Reservoir and Little Reservoir Dam, which regulate the flow of numerous alpine streams like Merchant Creek and the South Fork Beaver River.

A network of forest roads and trails, such as the Piute Trl and Ponderosa Dr, connects various high-country flats and meadows. Local history is reflected in colorful place names like Robbers Roost, Lousy Jim Creek, and Cys Cache, suggesting a legacy of early ranching and mountain exploration. The transition from ridges like Bosman Ridge to expansive openings such as Big John Flat illustrates the traditional use of these uplands for summer grazing and transit.
