About this map

Wasatch National Forest and Cache National Forest meet along a ridge line that defines this high-elevation landscape. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of springs and drainages, such as Kearl Spring, Thorsen Spring, and Bob Kiddys Spring, which feed into the rugged canyons of the area. The prevalence of named springs and small water bodies like Middle Davenport Res and Elmo Pond points to the importance of water management for livestock and wildlife in this part of northern Utah.

Transportation through the area is primarily represented by historical pack routes and specialized paths, notably the Hardware Ranch Trail and the Cutoff through Woodruff Park. The map documents the intricate topography of the Cache and Rich County border, showing specific sinks like Valley Sink and the winding Big Crawford Creek Canyon. This 1960s survey provides a detailed look at the land's transition before later 1980s revisions updated its woodland and road features.
