About this map

Causey Reservoir forms the central landscape of this Weber County region, situated at the confluence of the South Fork Ogden River and several mountain drainages. The map, based on fieldwork through the late 1980s, documents the controlled water management system of the Causey Dam and the Borrow Pit necessary for its maintenance. Within the Cache National Forest, the terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably across Elk Ridge and Baldy Ridge, which flank deep-cut waterways like Wheat Grass Canyon and Dry Bread Hollow.

Local landmarks such as Camp Kiesel and the Red Rock Ranch suggest the area's development for recreation and ranching during the late twentieth century. A Pack Trail winds through the rugged southern reaches near Skull Crack Canyon and Pole Canyon, providing a detailed look at the network of springs and seasonal creeks that sustain the ecosystem. The inclusion of County Memorial Park and various benchmarks offers precise points of reference for those tracing historical land use or topographic changes in this part of the Wasatch Range.
