About this map

Cache National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of this Rich County survey, where complex drainage systems define the landscape. The northern reaches are marked by the presence of Woodruff Reservoir, fed by Woodruff Cr as it winds through deep valleys. High points such as Red Mtn and Strawberry Ridge provide a topographical framework for the numerous hollows and canyons that dissect the area, including Wheatgrass Hollow and Allan Hollow.

Access to this remote backcountry is facilitated by the Monte Cristo Rd and Woodruff Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the namesake Meachum Ridge and adjacent Meachum Canyon. This map serves as a detailed record of water management and topography in a region where seasonal creeks like Birch Cr and Road Hollow are essential to the local watershed.
