About this map

The Wasatch-Cache National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, defined by a dense network of watercourses and canyons. Drainage patterns are particularly intricate here, with Blue Fork Creek, Squaw Creek, and Killfoil Creek feeding into the larger valleys. The map documents the convergence of several county boundaries, including the intersections of Morgan, Rich, and Summit counties.

Topographical detail highlights several distinct geographic features such as Francis Canyon and the uniquely named Hollow of the Holes. This 1964 survey, later updated in the mid-1980s, reveals a terrain primarily accessed via light-duty roads and primitive trails, such as the Trail weaving through the northern forest. The presence of numerous labeled springs and specialized drainages like Quaking Aspen Hollow and Beaver Creek suggests a landscape vital for watershed management and seasonal grazing at the intersection of Northern Utah's high-country counties.
