About this map

Fishlake National Forest dominates this high-country landscape, where a network of steep drainages like Catamount Canyon and Saddlehorse Canyon carve through the Sevier County terrain. The survey identifies vital mountain water sources and landmarks used by Forest Service personnel and local ranchers in the 1960s, including the Meadow Gulch Administrative Site and various scattered Corrals. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a widespread network of Jeep Trails suggests a period of active resource management and access development within the forest boundaries.

Prominent summits like Moroni Peak and Flat Top Mountain provide topographical anchors, while the southern reaches of the map reveal hydrological features such as the Beaver Dams along Beaver Creek. The detailed mapping of small hollows, including Tommy Hollow and Culvert Hollow, provides specific location data for genealogists and local historians tracking land use and family-named landmarks in this high-altitude wilderness.
