1964 Map of Monte Cristo PK

About this map

Ant Valley and the surrounding high country of the Cache National Forest are documented here in the early 1960s, showing a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and steep drainage systems. This area marks the intersection of Cache, Weber, and Rich counties, where the topography rises toward prominent heights like Mt McKinnon and Monte Cristo Peak. The survey details a network of springs and hollows, such as Bullwacker Spring and Skunk Hollow, which sustained livestock and wildlife in this high-elevation terrain. Settlement remains sparse, represented primarily by the wide corridor of Ant Flat and the headwaters of the Bear River. Local navigation and access are recorded through features like the Wheeler Jeep Trail and Dry Bread Hollow, reflecting the region's historical use for transit and resource management across the northern Wasatch Range peaks.
