About this map

Causey Reservoir forms the heart of this landscape, created by the Causey Dam at the confluence of several mountain drainages. The map illustrates a high-elevation backcountry within the Wasatch Cache National Forest, where the South Fork Ogden River meets tributaries like Skull Crack and Beaver Creek. Human presence is concentrated in the western canyons, featuring Red Rock Ranch, Camp Red Cliff, and County Memorial Park.

The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes across named features such as Bald Ridge and Lake Ridge, with extensive canyon systems including Wheat Grass Canyon and Dry Bread Hollow. A Gaging Station near the dam suggests the importance of water management in this arid region. The network of unimproved roads and jeep trails suggests a landscape primarily used for recreation, timber, or ranching by the mid-1960s.
