2002 Map of Smooth Knoll

About this map

High plateau ranching and water management define this terrain on the boundary of Wayne and Garfield Counties. This 2002 revision by the USDA Forest Service shows the eastern portion of the Dixie National Forest as it appeared at the turn of the millennium. The landscape is marked by an extensive network of small reservoirs and catchment basins used for high-altitude livestock grazing, including Mutts Reservoir, Blackburn Reservoir, and Bald Knoll Reservoir. These water sources are vital for the seasonal use of the surrounding wooded areas like Logging Grove and Peterson Grove. The map also traces the Loa Teasdale Ranger District line, illustrating the administrative complexity of these federal forest lands where drainage features like Balsam Hollow and Sage Hen Draw descend from prominent peaks such as Smooth Knoll and Timbered Knoll.
