About this map

Cache National Forest dominates this northern Utah landscape, where a dense network of drainages and named hollows defines the transition across the borders of Morgan, Rich, and Summit Counties. The western edge of the sheet is anchored by the Lost Cr Reservoir, fed by Lost Cr and nearby Killfoil Creek. This is a landscape of rugged high-elevation terrain, where family-named and descriptive landmarks like Doc Dorlands Hollow, Beaver Dam Hollow, and Quaking Aspen Hollow indicate a history of local land use ranging from livestock grazing to early resource extraction. The southern reaches of the quadrangle contain distinctive geological and water features such as Yellowjacket Spring and the curiously named Hollow of the Holes, providing a clear record of the area's hydrology and topography before any major modern development altered these remote drainages.
