About this map

St Charles and Fish Haven anchor this 1969 topographic survey, situated along the western shoreline of Bear Lake. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the lake's elevation to the high ridges of the Cache National Forest, where deep drainages like St Charles Canyon and Fish Haven Canyon cut through the terrain. A complex network of travel is visible, ranging from light-duty roads near the shoreline to Pack Trails and Jeep Trails that penetrate the high backcountry.

Local history and industry are represented by the Blackstone Mine in the upper canyon and the Ranger Dip located near the southern boundary. Natural water sources are abundant throughout the forest, including St Charles Spring, Blue Pond Spring, and the secluded Swan Lake at Swan Flat. The map also captures the St Charles Campground and local burial grounds marked Cem, providing a detailed look at the community's footprint between the mountains and the water.
