About this map

Cache National Forest dominates this section of the northern Wasatch Range, where a complex network of ridges and canyons defines the watershed for several major river forks. The topography is shaped by the headwaters of the Left Fork S Fork Ogden River and the Right Fork S Fork Ogden River, which converge amidst high-elevation landmarks like Horse Ridge and Knighton Ridge. The map reveals a history of land use through place names such as Sawmill Canyon, suggesting early timber operations that once supported the surrounding valleys.

Local landmarks like Wonder Spring and Squaw Flat provide reference points in this high country, while a series of ridges—including Condie Ridge, Baldy Ridge, and Stark Ridge—serve as natural boundaries. The convergence of Rich, Weber, and Morgan counties at various points on the map illustrates the geopolitical divisions established across this drainage-rich landscape, while narrow drainages like Hornet Gulch and Hell Canyon demonstrate the intricate drainage patterns feeding into Lost Cr and Woodruff Cr.
