About this map

The Monte Cristo Range dominates this high-country landscape along the border of Cache and Rich counties. This 2023 survey within the Cache National Forest reveals a network of basins and ridges used extensively for seasonal recreation and livestock movement. Terrain features like Curtis Ridge and Thousand Dollar Ridge are bisected by numerous drainage systems, including Dry Curtis Creek and Big Crawford Creek.

Water sources are critical markers in this arid high-elevation environment, evidenced by the many named springs such as Kearl Spring, Beaver Spring, and Thorsen Spring. These points of interest, alongside the Slyphone ATV Tr 216 Trl and Curtis Creek-Snowmobile Trl, reflect the area's modern utility for motorized and winter sports while preserving the nomenclature of earlier ranching eras, such as the Hardware Ranch Trl.
