About this map

Monte Cristo Peak rises as the central landmark of the Monte Cristo Range in this high-elevation corner of the Cache National Forest. The landscape is defined by a series of deep drainages and named hollows, including Mitchell Hollow and Dans Hollow, which feed into the E Fork Little Bear River. The presence of several springs, such as Indian Spring and Lewis Spring, alongside the uniquely named Dry Bread Pond, indicates a critical water network in this mountainous terrain.

Transportation through the area reflects its contemporary use for recreation and forest management, featuring the Monte Cristo Snowmobile route and the Mitchell Hollow ATV trail. The map also delineates the convergence of Weber, Cache, and Rich counties, highlighting the administrative complexity of these ridges. Smaller landmarks like Little Monte and Bluebell Flat offer specific points of reference for those tracing the geography of the northern Wasatch region.
