About this map

South Tent Mountain and North Tent Mountain anchor this high-elevation portion of the Wasatch Plateau, where water management and seasonal grazing define the landscape. The infrastructure here is notably focused on water transport, with several mountain conduits including Mountain Tunnel, Cedar Creek Tunnel, and Spring City Tunnel facilitating flow through the high ridges. These systems interact with the Spring City Ditch to manage resources across the divide, reflecting long-standing agricultural and municipal water needs in Sanpete County.

Evidence of human habitation and seasonal use is scattered throughout the drainages, from Becks Cabin in the south to the developed recreation at Potters Ponds, which is held by the Potters Pond Number One Dam and Potters Pond Number Two Dam. The map also preserves local lineage through named landmarks like Soren Peterson Meadow and various basins such as Little Buck Basin and Hogan Basin, while the famous Skyline Dr traces the high western ridges.
