About this map

Monte Cristo Campground serves as a central landmark in this high-elevation landscape of Weber County, where multiple ridges and hollows converge. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Eccles Peak and Baldy Peak, while the watershed is marked by the presence of Dairy Ridge Reservoir and numerous named springs such as Limestone Spring and Phosphate Spring. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated by Birch Creek, Wheeler Creek, and Woodruff Creek, which flow through various named hollows including Zeke Hollow and Peggy Hollow.

Land use and early ranching history are evident through features like the Zeke Hollow Corral and the network of forest roads, including Dairy Ridge Rd and Baldy Ridge Rd. The landscape's naming conventions often reflect family or local history, seen in Freds Hollow, Hansen Canyon, and Girl Hollow. This 2011 survey documents the established recreational and agricultural infrastructure within the complex network of ridges like Eli Ridge and Swan Ridge.
