About this map

East Canyon Reservoir dominates the drainage patterns of this high-elevation mountain terrain where Morgan and Summit Counties meet. The 2023 survey illustrates a landscape defined by deep drainages like Merdiths Canyon and The Gulch, and significant heights such as Redrock Peak and Rocky Ridge. Water sources are vital in this environment, marked by named points including Jack Beard Spring, Dixie Hollow Springs, and Tom Porter Springs.

Historic movement through these mountains is etched into the landscape via the Broad Hollow Pioneer Trl, which skirts the ridges above the reservoir. This route, alongside E Canyon Rd, provides modern access to the complex network of hollows—such as Bachelor Canyon and Tom Harris Hollow—that have served local ranchers and travelers for generations. The map captures the interface between the Wasatch Range and the reservoir's managed waters at East Canyon Creek.
