About this map

The Manti-La Sal National Forest high country, situated along the Sanpete and Emery County border, is defined by an intricate network of water management features and high mountain peaks. High-elevation engineering is evident in the presence of the Mountain Tunnel, the Cedar Creek Tunnel, and a Gaging Station on Oak Creek. These developments, alongside the Black Canyon Ditch and Potters Canyon Ditch, illustrate the importance of water diversion and livestock management in this alpine environment during the mid-1960s.

Local landmarks such as Soren Peterson Meadow and Becks Cabin provide tangible links to the individuals who worked and navigated these ridges. The terrain is dominated by the twin summits of North Tent Mtn and South Tent Mtn, with a series of distinct basins like Brough Basin and Hogan Basin carved into the slopes. The Skyline Drive traverses the high ridges, providing access to remote points like Lowry Top and the fishing waters of Potters Ponds.
