2017 Map of Causey Dam

About this map

Causey Reservoir forms the central focal point of this Weber County landscape, where the S Fork Ogden River is impounded by the Causey Dam. Situated within the Cache National Forest, the terrain is defined by a dense network of high ridges and deep canyons. Prominent elevations like Lightning Ridge, Baldy Ridge, and Knighten Ridge overlook narrow drainages such as Skull Crack Canyon and Wheat Grass Canyon. This 2017 survey details a transition from the level terrain of Sagebrush Flat to the steep, narrow hollows like Dry Bread Hollow and Pete Nelson Hollow. Local access is provided by specialized routes including Skull Crack Rd and Camp Kiesel Rd, reflecting the area's primary use for water management and forest recreation.
