About this map

Fishlake National Forest encompasses the rugged high country of Sevier County, where complex drainage systems like Three Creeks and Clear Creek have carved deep paths through the landscape. This 1981 survey documents the area's transition into a modern multi-use wilderness, showing Interstate 70 under construction alongside historical resource extraction sites like Gravel Pits, a Mine, and a Quarry near the Red Narrows.

The presence of The Airstrip and numerous established routes like the Fish Trail and various Pack Trails indicates a region utilized for both utility and recreation. High plateaus such as the Big Bench and Sawmill Bench overlook steep canyons, while the Three Creeks Reservoir serves as a primary water feature. Names like Devils Dance Floor and Rattlesnake Ridge suggest a colorful local history tied to the land's challenging topography.
