1955 Map of James Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

James Peak rises above the transition from high ridgelines to deeply incised canyons at the mid-century intersection of Cache County and Weber County. This high-elevation landscape, largely contained within the Wasatch Cache National Forest, reflects a history of both resource extraction and early mountain recreation. Evidence of local industry is found at the Honey Bee Mine and the timber-associated Shingle Mill Hollow, while agricultural presence is marked by the remote Fourmile Ranch near the northern boundary. The 1980s updates on this sheet highlight the growth of the Powder Mountain Ski Area in the south, showing how the economy shifted from mining and ranching toward seasonal tourism. Water management is a central theme, with named sites like Halfway Reservoir and Pets Spring supporting the high-country landscape near Wellsville Mountain.
