About this map

Fish Lake National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape in Millard County, where steep drainages and prominent summits define the geography of the Pavant Range. Several peaks over 9,000 feet, including Mine Camp Peak and Sunset Peak, serve as focal points for a network of springs and canyons that feed the valley floor below. The presence of several prospects near Indian Spring and Sunset Canyon suggests a history of mineral exploration in these remote slopes, while an agueduct along the western edge of the forest boundary highlights the importance of water management in this arid environment.

In the southern reaches, the Adelaide Campground sits near the confluence of several creeks, including Kanosh Creek and Corn Creek. The topography is particularly striking at The Devils Armchair, where the land drops sharply into the surrounding canyons. This survey, revised by the Forest Service, documents a landscape shaped by both natural drainage patterns like Walker Creek and human markers such as the Communication Site atop Sunset Peak.
