About this map

Water Creek Canyon and the high plateaus of Sevier County are defined by a complex network of hydrological management and distinct geographical landmarks. In the early 21st century, this area of the Fishlake National Forest shows a landscape of essential water storage, including Annabella Reservoir, Davis Hollow Reservoir, and Bear Valley Reservoir. The mapping of the Big Lake Reservoir Dam and Deep Lake Dam underscores the importance of water control in this high-altitude environment.

Surface features are frequently identified by family names or descriptive local identifiers, such as Henries Hollow, Killian Hollow, and Christensen Spring. Significant grazing and transit areas are marked by Saul Meadow and various "flats" like Long Flat and Circle Flat. The winding Monroe Mountain Rd provides the primary access through this terrain, connecting the high ridges of Bell Rock Ridge and Red Pine Ridge with the drainages of Water Creek and Mill Creek.
