2014 Map of Dairy Ridge

About this map

Eccles Peak and the Monte Cristo Range dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Cache National Forest along the borders of Weber, Cache, and Rich Counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and hollows, including Strawberry Ridge, Baldy Ridge, and Eli Ridge. Water sources are numerous and vital in this environment, represented by a high density of named springs such as Davenport Spring, Freds Spring, and Wheeler Spring. At the center of the sheet, the Dairy Ridge Reservoir collects runoff from the surrounding peaks. The human footprint is focused on transportation and water management, with State Hwy 39 and W Monte Cristo Rd providing access through the canyons. This map is a record of the intricate watershed management in the Utah high country, tracing the beginnings of Woodruff Cr and Wheeler Cr.
