About this map

Causey Dam serves as the central focal point for this high-elevation Weber County landscape, where the S Fork Ogden River is impounded within the Cache National Forest. The surrounding terrain is a complex network of steep drainages and named ridges, including Lightning Ridge and Baldy Ridge, which hem in the reservoir and its contributing streams. The map reveals the interplay between the managed forest and small residential developments like Causey Estates, situated near the western edge of the quadrangle.

Deep canyons such as Skull Crack Canyon and Mill Canyon dictate the local transportation routes, with Skull Crack Canyon Rd and Mill Rd following the natural contours of the land. Historically significant landscape markers like Sagebrush Flat and Dry Bread Hollow reflect the traditional naming conventions of the area's early land use. This modern survey provides a precise look at the hydrology of the Left Fork S Fork Ogden River and its various tributaries during the early 21st century.
