About this map

Cache National Forest dominates this high-country landscape, where the jagged boundaries of Cache, Rich, and Weber counties meet. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of the Monte Cristo Range and Wasatch Ridge, with Monte Cristo Peak serving as a central landmark. This 1991 edition captures the complex hydrological network of the region, marked by numerous named water sources like Limestone Spring, Little Monte Springs, and Norma Springs.

Seasonal water management and natural drainage patterns are evident in the presence of Dry Bread Pond and Lower Dry Bread Pond within Dry Bread Hollow. The map traces the early headwaters of the Little Bear River and the expansive open spaces of Ant Flat and Bluebell Flat. These features, along with names like Skunk Hollow and Wheat Grass Canyon, reflect a landscape primarily utilized for forest management and seasonal grazing at the close of the 20th century.
