2017 Map of Hardware Ranch

About this map

Hardware Ranch serves as a central landmark in this portion of the Cache National Forest, where the high-altitude landscape is defined by the complex drainage of the Blacksmith Fork river. This 2017 survey details a network of canyons and ridges, including Blacksmith Fork Canyon and the prominent Monte Cristo Range to the southeast. The map reveals how the terrain dictates movement through the region, with Laketown Rd and Ant Flat Rd following natural corridors between peaks like Gold Hill and Deer Ridge. Numerous water sources, such as Tilda Springs and Whiskey Spring, are meticulously plotted across the drainage basins of Sheep Cr and Mill Cr, highlighting the vital locations that supported ranching and forest management in this part of northern Utah.
