2011 Map of White Pine Peak

About this map

White Pine Peak rises as the central landmark of the Pahvant Range in this high-altitude corner of Sevier County. The landscape is defined by a series of steep, radial drainage systems, including White Pine Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and the North and South forks of Willow Creek. Evidence of human presence in this mountainous terrain is primarily concentrated along the lower elevations and through the historical infrastructure of the Civilian Conservation Rd, which winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Small-scale development is represented by the White Pine Cabins near Death Canyon, while localized landmarks like Burnt Hollow and The Elbow suggest long-standing geographic naming conventions used by ranchers and foresters. Significant water sources in this arid environment, such as Little Valley Spring in Little Valley, anchor the few accessible flats between the deep cuts of Deer Creek Canyon and Pauls Canyon.
