1968 Map of Meachum Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Meachum Ridge dominates this northern Utah landscape, where the high country of the Wasatch-Cache National Forest meets a network of vital waterways and historical ranching corridors. Based on 1960s field data with mid-1980s photorevisions, the map documents the management of water resources in this arid terrain, anchored by the Woodruff Creek Reservoir and its spillway. A gaging station along Birch Creek reflects the systematic monitoring of runoff through the numerous drainages like Wheatgrass Hollow and Allan Hollow. The rugged topography is defined by prominent rises such as Strawberry Ridge and Red Mountain, while a system of pack trails and jeep trails provides the only access through the steep Meachum Canyon and Home Canyon. This survey captures the region just as modern mapping techniques began to overlay new infrastructure on traditional grazing lands.
