Emigration Canyon and the surrounding high country of the Wasatch National Forest are defined by deep-cut drainages and historic pathways leading toward the valley floor. The map highlights the intersection of modern road networks with storied migration routes, such as the Mormon Trail and the Mormon Pioneer Nht, which cross through Big Mountain Pass. Small enclaves like Pinecrest, Kelvin Grove, and Maple Grove are positioned along the canyon floor, illustrating the localized settlement patterns that follow Emigration Creek. Significant peaks, including Lookout Peak and Bald Mtn, anchor the ridgelines that divide the City Creek Canyon and Red Butte Canyon systems. Farther south, Mountain Dell sits near the confluence of Parleys Creek and Alexander Creek, serving as a central point for both the local geography and the The Sheep Trl that traverses the area.
