About this map

Fishlake National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of the Tushar Mountains in this survey of Sevier and Piute counties. The landscape is defined by its drainages and mountain landmarks, including Trail Mountain and the curiously named Devils Dance Floor to the north. Water management and local history are evident in features such as the Three Creeks Reservoir and Sawmill Bench, suggesting the historical importance of timber and irrigation in this part of Utah.

A network of mountain roads and canyons like Clear Creek Canyon and Sevier Canyon dictates the movement across the territory. Notable landmarks such as Whiterock Hump and Rattlesnake Ridge provide orientation points for those studying the physical geography of the region. The map also identifies local meadows and hollows like Shingle Creek Meadows and Maple Spring Hollow, which have long served as significant points for grazing and seasonal activity.
