About this map

Hardware Ranch Wildlife Management Area anchors the western portion of this high-elevation landscape on the border of Cache and Rich counties. Set within the Cache National Forest, the terrain is defined by a series of north-south ridges and deep hollows like Davenport Hollow and Frazier Hollow. The hydrological pattern is unique, featuring numerous "sinks" and springs where water enters the subterranean limestone, such as Spencer Basin Sink and Valley Sink.

Remote infrastructure is sparse, limited primarily to seasonal grazing sites and water sources like Red Wells and Elmo Pond. The eastern edge of the survey transitions into the broader expanse of Woodruff Park, where Crawford Creek descends through Crawford Canyon. For the researcher, the map preserves the exact locations of many named springs and water holes, such as Bob Kiddys Hole, which were vital for livestock management and early boundary navigation in these high summer ranges.
