2001 Map of Woods Lake

About this map

The high-elevation divide where the Sanpete and Sevier County lines meet is defined by a series of prominent ridges and drainages within the Manti-La Sal and Fishlake National Forests. This 2001 revision highlights a landscape of significant relief, from the broad Gunnison Valley and Salina Flats to distinct peaks such as Mollys Nipple and Mount Baldy. The map documents a sophisticated network of backcountry routes, including the Great Western Trail and the Skyline Drive Trail, which follow the high crests. Water management and natural alpine features are central to the area, evidenced by high-country basins containing Woods Lake, Island Lake, and the WPA Ponds. The presence of the Whitlock Cabin and the Pinchot Trailhead Lower Arapaen TH suggests the region's enduring importance for forest administration and early conservation efforts.
