About this map

Williams Peak stands as the central high point of this 1985 survey, dominating the interior of the Fishlake National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense network of canyons and drainages, including the prominent Eightmile Canyon and Lyman Canyon. These waterways feed into the major creek systems like Eightmile Creek and Oak Creek, which descend from the high elevations into the surrounding lowlands. The eastern edge of the map transitions into the Scipio Valley, where the steep mountain slopes give way to the Low Hills.

Resource utilization and water management are evident through features such as the Gravel Pit and several named water sources like John Williams Spring and Fishers Spring. The boundary between Juab Co and Millard Co cuts through the northern section, tracing the high ridges above Hardscrabble Canyon. This map provides a detailed look at the hydrology and terrain of the region before modern digital mapping, preserving the locations of remote springs and seasonal creek forks.
