About this map

The Weber River carves a dramatic path through the northern Wasatch region, anchoring a landscape where narrow valleys meet the steep slopes of the Bear River Range. This modern survey documents the corridor through Upper Weber Canyon, where the prominent rock formation of Devils Slide stands as a landmark for travelers and residents alike. The settlement of Henefer marks the southern junction near Main Canyon Cr, while the village of Croydon sits nestled to the north along Lost Creek.

Transport and topography are intertwined here, with the path of the river dictating the placement of settlements like Taggarts and the layout of historical land divisions. Local history is etched into the many named drainages, such as Phil Shop Hollow, Yence Hollow, and Shells Hollow, which reflect decades of family naming traditions and ranching operations. The Croydon Cem remains a quiet point of interest for genealogists tracing the legacy of these high mountain valleys.
