About this map

Manti-La Sal National Forest defines the high-elevation landscape of this Sanpete and Emery County borderland. The terrain is a complex network of canyons and ridges, anchored by the prominent summits of N Tent Mtn and S Tent Mtn. Historic water management is evident throughout the topography, including the Potters Canyon Ditch and Spring City Ditch, which redirect flow across the high divides. Unusual subterranean features like the Cedar Creek Tunnel and Spring City Tunnel demonstrate the engineering efforts required to move water through this mountainous geography.

Local history and family names are preserved in landmarks such as Soren Peterson Meadow and Bennetts Canyon. To the east, the map descends toward Upper Joes Valley, while to the south, the Reeder Trail provides passage through Reeder Canyon. These features, along with names like Bacon Rind Ridge and Bulger Ridge, reflect a legacy of livestock grazing and early settlement activity within the forest boundaries.
