About this map

Mount Elmer stands as a central peak within this 2017 high-country study of the Cache National Forest, marking a landscape defined by deep canyons and prominent limestone features. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the Logan River and the steep walls of Logan Canyon, where significant landmarks like Brachiopod Rock and Beirdneau Peak rise above the drainage.

A network of recreational and access routes, including the Mt Naomi Peak NRT and the Old Juniper Shady Route, indicates the area's transition into a modern wilderness and recreation destination. Water sources are sparse but critical in this terrain, found at Hansen Pond and Cottonwood Spring. The map documents a rugged interior of the Bear River Range, where traditional place names like Thurston Hollow and Birch Canyon persist alongside named geological sites like the Wind Cave Way trailhead.
