1968 Map of Water Creek Canyon

About this map

Fishlake National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this high-altitude landscape in Sevier County, where a complex network of pack trails and jeep trails provides access to a series of remote water resources. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes between Water Creek Canyon and the surrounding heights of Squeedunk Ridge and Bell Rock Ridge. Strategic water management is evident throughout the survey, with several named impoundments such as Annabella Reservoir, Davis Hollow Reservoir, and Bear Valley Res situated across the mountain flats. Local history and ranching roots are preserved through family-named landmarks like Christensen Spring, Killian Spring, and Brimhall Springs, while the lower reaches of Peterson Creek and Water Creek flow through canyons named for their distinctive timber and geology, including Lone Pine Canyon and Bell Rock Canyon.
