About this map

Fishlake National Forest dominates this section of the Mountains along the border of Millard and Juab Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Eightmile Creek, Dry Creek, and Little Oak Creek, which flow through steep corridors like Hardscrabble Canyon and Rogers Canyon. High-altitude landmarks such as Williams Peak and the ridges of Partridge Mountain overlook several springs and remote facilities, including a Gaging Station and the Little Creek Campground.

The eastern edge of the survey transitions from the high peaks into the Scipio Valley, where the land levels out near the Low Hills. This contrast between the heavily recessed canyons of the national forest and the open valley floor illustrates the typical Great Basin geography of the area. Notable family or local identifiers, such as John Williams Spring and Weetches Canyon, provide specific points of interest for those tracing the history of land use and water rights in this part of central Utah at the dawn of the 21st century.
