2011 Map of James Peak

About this map

James Peak and Cobabe Peak define the high terrain of this landscape in the northern Wasatch Range. The drainage network is complex, with the South Fork Little Bear River drawing water from numerous side-canyons like Threemile Canyon and Fourmile Canyon. Cultural evidence on the land includes the Bluebell Mine and the Honey Bee Mine, alongside legacy place names such as Mormon Hollow and Shingle Mill Hollow that point to the early industry and settlement of the region. At the southern edge, the Powder Mountain Ski Area marks the modern recreational use of these peaks. Farther north, the Fourmile Ranch sits near McKenzie Flat, illustrating the high-elevation ranching character that persists alongside these mountain watersheds.
