About this map

The Bear River Range dominates this portion of the Cache National Forest, marking the boundary between Franklin and Bear Lake counties. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where Emigration Cr and Liberty Cr carve through deep canyons like Copenhagen Canyon and Miles Canyon. The presence of Carlson Mill in Williams Canyon suggests a history of resource extraction or processing amidst the numerous natural springs, such as Hells Kitchen Spring and Mink Creek Spring, that sustain the local watershed.

Travelers and land managers navigate this terrain via the Highline trail and a series of forest roads including Copenhagen Basin Rd and Williams Creek Rd. Notable landmarks for navigation and local history include the prominent Midnight Mtn, the high crossing at Green Pass, and distinctive basins like Green Basin and Mahogany Basin. The naming of areas like Relief Society Hollow and Danish Flat reflects the cultural imprint of the early settlers who worked these mountains.
