1969 Map of Boulder Mtn

About this map

Boulder Mtn and the surrounding high country of the Wasatch-Cache National Forest are defined by a complex network of springs and canyons. The drainage of Blacksmith Fork and its Left Hand Fork carve through the landscape, revealing the geological character of northern Utah. A primary indicator of early 20th-century industry is the Lucky Star Mine, situated near Cabin Spring. This era's infrastructure is further evidenced by a system of primitive routes including the Bear Pack Trail and numerous Jeep Trails that provided access to grazing lands and mineral deposits. High-altitude meadows like Squaw Flat and Elk Valley contrast with deeply cut ravines such as Steel Hollow and Ricks Canyon. Numerous water sources, from Marie Spring to the Sow Hole Spring, mark the essential hydrology for the region's livestock and wildlife management.
