About this map

Hardware Ranch serves as a prominent landmark in this high-elevation corner of Cache National Forest, situated west of the boundary between Cache and Rich counties. The landscape is defined by the steep rises of the Monte Cristo Range and deep topographic features like Crawford Canyon and Spencer Basin. A complex network of springs, such as Kearl Spring, Thorsen Spring, and Chuckhole Spring, provides vital water sources for the livestock and wildlife that historically range across these ridges.

Transportation through these mountain passes is represented by the Curtis Creek Snowmobile route, which tracks along the rugged contours of Curtis Ridge. In the southeast, Middle Davenport Reservoir and Woodruff Park indicate the management of water and grazing land. The map also captures curiosities of local nomenclature, including Bob Kiddys Hole and the distinctively named Six Bit Hollow, offering a detailed view of the regional geography before the most recent developments.
