About this map

Saleratus Creek flows through this corner of Rich County, Utah, where a series of water management features define the local geography. The drainage network includes Saleratus Reservoir Number 1, Saleratus Reservoir Number 2, and Saleratus Reservoir Number 3, supporting ranching operations in a landscape marked by substantial physical landmarks like Table Mtn and McKay Ridge.

Evidence of historical land use is visible in the network of named hollows and springs, such as Chicken Spring and Negro Dan Spring. The presence of Main Ranch Way and various reservoirs like Crane Reservoir and Neponset Reservoir illustrates the specialized infrastructure required for high-altitude western agriculture. Portions of the western map area are protected within the Cache National Forest, showing the border where managed forest meets the basin terrain.
