2011 Map of Meachum Ridge

About this map

Meachum Ridge and the high country of northern Utah are defined by their hydraulic infrastructure and elevation in this 2011 topographic record. The landscape is dominated by the storage capacity of the Woodruff Reservoir, held back by the Woodruff Creek Dam. This water management system serves as the primary landmark in a region otherwise characterized by natural relief, including the heights of Red Mountain and Strawberry Ridge. The drainage network is anchored by Woodruff Creek and Birch Creek, which carve through the terrain as they flow toward the northeast. This map illustrates the intersection of natural geography and managed resources, providing a clear view of the roads and water systems that supported the ranching and agricultural economy of the early 21st century.
