About this map

The high ridges of the Bear River Range dominate this portion of the Cache National Forest, where the complex water management of eastern Franklin County is clearly visible. The map details an intricate system of high-altitude irrigation, featuring the Mink Cr Canal, Twin Lakes Canal, and the Cub River Worm Cr Canal, which skirt the edges of deep drainages like South Canyon and South Worm Creek Basin. These canals reflect the vital engineering required to support valley agriculture from mountain snowmelt.

Small settlements like Mink Creek and Glendale sit at the base of the mountains, connected by roads such as N Capitol Hill Rd. The landscape is punctuated by numerous named springs and hollows, including Schoolhouse Hollow and Peterson Hollow, serving as landmarks for local history and recreation. Public lands are well-represented with the Albert Moser Campground and the expansive forest boundary, while specialized terrain features like Sheep Dip Hollow and Horse Basin hint at the area's long-standing ranching and grazing heritage.
