About this map

West Hills dominates this 2011 topographical study of Box Elder County, where high ridges and deep drainages define the landscape. The western face of the range is carved by a succession of canyons, including Middle Canyon, Portage Canyon, and Broad Canyon, which channel water toward the valley floors. At the foot of the hills, the Portage Cemetery remains a significant local historical point, overlooking the northern entrance to the valley.

Toward the southern edge of the sheet, the terrain opens into Whites Valley, a distinct geographic bowl surrounded by elevated features like Limekiln Knoll and Lemon Peak. This map records the modern road network servicing this rural area, including Middle Canyon Rd and Portage Canyon Rd, which follow the natural contours of the mountain passes once used by early settlers to traverse the rugged northern Utah territory.
