About this map

Monte Cristo Peak and the surrounding high country of Weber County are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and mountain springs. The hydrology of the area is particularly prominent, featuring the East Fork Little Bear River which cuts through the northern section, while numerous hollows like Blake Hollow and Cabin Hollow score the landscape. These features suggest a region primarily utilized for resource management and seasonal access rather than dense permanent settlement.

Evidence of historical land use appears in the naming of remote landmarks such as Little Monte and Mount McKinnon. Water sources like Limestone Spring, Norma Spring, and Bluebell Spring indicate the critical importance of reliable water for livestock or forestry operations in this elevated terrain. The presence of Ant Flat Rd provides the primary north-south artery through this mountain landscape, connecting the various forks of Sheep Creek and Beaver Creek that drain these slopes.
