About this map

James Peak and the high ridges of the Cache National Forest dominate this late-twentieth-century landscape, marking the transition between the Logan Ogden Ranger District and the mountain watersheds of northern Utah. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Davenport Creek, McKenzie Creek, and the South Fork Little Bear River, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Bear River Range.

Evidence of historical land use appears through features like Fourmile Ranch and a prospect site near the headwaters. Family-named landmarks such as Alex Beard Hill and Jenson Hollow suggest early grazing and timber activity, while numerous remote sites like Pats Spring and Shingle Mill Hollow offer points of interest for those tracing the development of back-country infrastructure. The area remains largely undeveloped, navigated primarily by 4wd routes that traverse the slopes between Wolf Creek Peak and Sharp Mountain.
