About this map

Cache National Forest encompasses the western portion of this 1968 landscape, characterized by a series of named hollows and ridges that define the water management patterns of Rich County. The terrain is marked by a complex network of seasonal drainages such as Saleratus Creek and Crane Creek, which feed into specialized ranching or agricultural infrastructure like Saleratus Reservoir No 1 and its sister reservoirs to the south.

Several family or locally named landmarks, including Table Mountain and McKay Ridge, suggest a history of grazing and land use. The presence of numerous isolated water sources like Negro Dan Spring, Keg Spring, and Chicken Spring indicates the critical importance of spring-fed water in this arid highland environment. In the northeast corner, the Neponset Reservoir stands as a significant hydrological feature near the spillway elevation markers.
