About this map

The Monte Cristo Range dominates this portion of the Cache National Forest, where the intersections of Cache, Weber, and Rich counties meet among high-elevation peaks and drainages. The landscape is defined by its water sources and sharp relief, from Monte Cristo Peak and Mt McKinnon down into several notable hollows including Mitchell Hollow, Dans Hollow, and Cabin Hollow.

Modern infrastructure follows the natural topography, with State Route 39 and Ant Flat Road providing access to high-country features such as Dry Bread Pond and Lower Dry Bread Pond. The drainage network is complex, characterized by the East Fork Little Bear River and numerous springs like Limestone Spring and Bluebell Spring that sustain the local ecosystem. This detailed survey captures the area's transition from the ridge lines of Elk Ridge to the lower flats, documenting a preserved wilderness used for forest management and recreation.
