About this map

Shelly Baldy Peak dominates the northern skyline of this high-altitude landscape within the Fishlake National Forest. The map documents a complex network of ridgelines and watercourses, including the Tushar Mountains and Grizzly Ridges, which define the drainage basins for Sweetwater Creek and Sawmill Fork. The presence of Tungsten Hollow suggests the mineral interests that have historically characterized this part of Piute County, while the naming of Van Fleet Hollow and Britts Meadows preserves the identity of early local settlers and ranching families.

Transportation through this difficult terrain is marked by the Skyline National Recreation Trail and the Paiute (D-3) route, indicating the modern use of the forest for recreation. To the south, the boundary between Beaver County and Piute County cuts through the high plateaus near Harmony Park and Gunsight Flat. Land use is further illustrated by features like the Aqueduct UpEL - Cys Cache and the Kents Lake Labaron landmark, reflecting the critical role of water management in the high desert.
