2001 Map of Thistle

USGS Topo · Published 2004

About this map

Thistle (Site) marks a significant point of historical interest at the confluence of Spanish Fork and Thistle Creek, where the canyon landscape meets the edge of the Uinta National Forest. The topography is dominated by steep drainages like Wildcat Canyon and Blind Canyon, illustrating the challenging geography that historically influenced rail and road routes through this corridor. As the terrain ascends toward Sky High and Coffeepot Ridge, the map reveals a high-elevation network of water sources, including Jumpup Spring and Buggy Wheel Spring. The transition into the Manti-La Sal National Forest highlights the importance of the Sky High Trail for navigating these ridges. This 2001 revision documents the area's natural hydrology, featuring Smiths Reservoir and the restricted passage known as The Narrows, where Soldier Creek cuts through the rocky highlands.
