2020 Map of Curtis Ridge

About this map

Hardware Ranch serves as a primary landmark in this high-altitude landscape along the border of Cache and Rich counties. Situated within the Cache National Forest, the terrain is defined by the Monte Cristo Range and a dense network of water sources, including the Middle Davenport Reservoir and Elmo Pond. The map reveals a land utilized for both traditional ranching and seasonal recreation, marked by the Curtis Creek Snowmobile (Snow) route that traverses the drainage between Curtis Ridge and Dry Gulch. Numerous named springs, such as Thorsen Spring and Blacksmith Spring, underscore the vital role of water management in this high-country environment. Unusual topographical names like Thousand Dollar Ridge, Bob Kiddys Hole, and Spencer Basin provide a window into the local nomenclature and historical land use patterns of this part of the Wasatch Range.
