About this map

Monte Cristo Range topography dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Cache National Forest. The area is characterized by a dense network of mountain springs and named hollows that served as vital landmarks for early ranchers and travelers. Significant water sources like Dog Spring, Marie Spring, and Heber Spring dot the terrain, sustaining life in the high basins of Elk Valley and Pleasant Valley.

Transport through this part of Cache County is marked by historic corridors such as Laketown Rd and the Baxter Sawmill Rd, the latter indicating the region's historical ties to timber and early mountain industry. The map captures a detailed inventory of local geography from Boulder Mtn to the many drainages like Sheep Cr and Rock Cr, which carve through the land near Squaw Flat. For those tracing local land use, these named features provide a look at the natural resources that defined the area's development.
