About this map

The Weber River cuts a prominent path through this mountain corridor, anchoring the small settlements of Henefer, Croydon, and Taggarts. The landscape is defined by its deep drainages and canyons, including Quarry Cottonwood Canyon and Norwood Canyon, which break away from the central river valley. Significant landmarks like Devils Slide and Bolly Knob stand as geological features amidst a network of hollows, such as Phil Shop Hollow and Mine Hollow, that suggest a history of localized land use and extraction.

Transport and water management are central to the area's layout, with Lost Creek flowing past the Croydon Cemetery to join the river system. The terrain is crisscrossed by canyons such as Coyote Canyon and Wolf Den Canyon, reflecting the high-relief topography of Summit County. This survey provides a clear view of the mountain-pass geography, where infrastructure follows the natural course of the Weber River and its various forks and springs like Oak Spring.
