About this map

Cache National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape within the Bear River Range, where the boundary between Franklin and Bear Lake counties traverses steep ridges and glacial basins. The terrain is marked by a complex network of seasonal water sources and alpine lakes, including Blue Lake, Horse Lake, and Wiggler Lake. Historic movement through these mountains is etched into the land via the Old Logan Rd and the Highline trail, which connect the various basins and hollows.

Hydrological patterns are a central focus of this 2020 survey, showing the headwaters of the Logan River and the Cub River as they drain from the limestone-rich heights. Geologic and recreational interest is evident near the eastern edge of the map, where Minnetonka Cave Rd approaches the well-known subterranean features just outside the quadrangle. For those studying the early livestock and transit history of the region, named points like Danish Pass and Gibson Basin provide specific geographic anchors within the vast forest interior.
