About this map

Cache National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Cache County, where the northern reaches of the Monte Cristo Range meet the prominent Boulder Mtn. This modern survey details a complex system of drainage and grazing lands, punctuated by numerous named springs such as Bronze Spring, Cabin Spring, and Sheep Creek Spring. The terrain is characterized by deep canyons and hollows, including Ricks Canyon and the Left Hand Fork Blacksmith Fork Canyon, which historically served as vital corridors for movement through the mountains.

Transportation patterns reflect the area's use for recreation and resource management, with routes like Laketown Rd and specialized paths such as the Sinks Trail Winter Sport and Curtis Creek Snowmobile trail. Large upland openings like Squaw Flat, Elk Valley, and Pleasant Valley provide distinctive breaks in the steep topography, indicating the traditional pastoral and wildlife value of these mountain basins.
