About this map

Hardware Ranch anchors the southeastern reaches of this terrain, situated within a broader conservation landscape designated as the Hardware Ranch Wildlife Management Area. The geography is defined by the deep incisions of the Blacksmith Fork and its Left Hand Fork, which drain the surrounding highlands of the Cache National Forest. In the central portion of the map, Boulder Mountain rises above a complex system of drainage hollows, including Steel Hollow and Herd Hollow.

Evidence of historical resource extraction is found at the Lucky Star Mine near Cabin Spring, while the abundance of named water sources like Little Ricks Spring, Humming Bird Spring, and Mosslander Spring suggests the vital importance of water management in this high-elevation environment. The map also traces infrastructure through the region, including a pipeline crossing Squaw Flat and various forest trails connecting the mountain saddles.
