About this map

Cache Peak and the surrounding Albion Mountains define this high-altitude landscape in Cassia County. The terrain is characterized by complex drainage patterns where numerous springs, including Salt Lick Spring, Logger Spring, and Sanford Spring, feed into a network of creeks such as Mill Creek, Almo Creek, and Cassia Creek. High-elevation landmarks like Mount Independence and the Independence Lakes offer a detailed view of the regional topography, while Castle Rocks stands out as a significant geological feature near the southern boundary.

Transit through the range is marked by established routes over Basin-Elba Pass and Stines Pass, connecting different watersheds. The map also records localized features like the Pot Holes and various named canyons, including Myers Canyon and Spring Canyon, which illustrate the erosional history of the area. This 2011 survey captures the intersection of rugged physical geography and the rural road network, including Big Cove Ranch Rd and E Taylor Rd.
