About this map

The high ridgelines of the Bear River Range dominate this topography, marking the boundary between Bear Lake Co and Franklin Co. Administered by the Caribou NF, this section of the Cache National Forest centers on the prominence of Midnight Mtn and its namesake Midnight Lake. The landscape is a network of named basins and hollows, including Copenhagen Basin and Relief Society Hollow, suggesting a history of grazing and timber use.

Modern recreational footprints appear alongside older land markers, seen in the location of the Archery Range and RD&G Camp near Emigration Creek. Long-distance travel is represented by the Highline Trail, which traverses the high country north of Green Pass. The abundance of named water sources, such as Hells Kitchen Spring and Strawberry Spring, indicates the vital importance of water management in this high-altitude environment during the mid-20th century.
