About this map

The Pine Valley Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Dixie National Forest, reaching their apex at Signal Peak. Revised by the Forest Service at the turn of the 21st century, the map reveals a rugged backcountry interlaced with historic routes like the Whipple Trail, Summit Trail, and Oak Grove Trail. These paths connect remote landmarks such as Browns Point and Deer Flat to the springs and canyons below.

Hydrological data is particularly dense in the southern drainage, where Leeds Creek and Cottonwood Creek are fed by numerous named sources including Ash Grove Spring and Maple Spring. The human footprint is sparse but specific, noted by the Danish Ranch and a Quarry near the Pine Valley Ranger District boundary. The vast Pine Valley Mountain Wilderness boundary encloses much of the northern terrain, preserving a snapshot of Utah's protected alpine environments.
