About this map

Hardware Ranch sits at the confluence of several high-country drainages in this Cache County landscape, where the Blacksmith Fork river cuts through Blacksmith Fork Canyon. The topography is dominated by the western reaches of the Monte Cristo Range and significant ridges such as Curtis Ridge and Deer Ridge. Large-scale land use within the Cache National Forest is evident through the network of mountain trails and forest roads like Ant Flat Rd and Laketown Rd.

Springs are a vital feature of this terrain, with Tilda Spring, Boundary Spring, and several mud springs dotting the slopes. The map reveals a complex system of named hollows and gulches, including Lions Hollow and Petes Hollow, which illustrate the erosion patterns of the region. This 2020 survey provides a modern look at a remote mountain environment primarily utilized for wildlife management and recreation.
