About this map

Cache National Forest land dominates this high-altitude landscape along the intersection of Morgan, Rich, and Summit Counties. The Bear River Range defines the northern topography, where Bear Creek and Blue Fork Creek cut through steep drainages toward the west. The presence of Lost Creek Reservoir in the northwestern corner serves as a central hydrological landmark for this area of the Wasatch Range.

A complex network of canyons and hollows, such as Francis Canyon, Mahogany Hollow, and the multi-branched Coal Hollow, suggests a history of grazing and localized resource extraction. To the south, the headwaters of Heiners Creek and several isolated water sources like Yellowjacket Spring and Yellowstone Spring mark the terrain. This survey provides a precise view of the boundary lines between three Utah counties as they navigate the high ridges and deep draws of the national forest.
