About this map

Bear River Range dominates this 1969 survey of high-elevation terrain within the Cache National Forest along the Utah-Idaho border. The high peaks of Mount Gog, Mount Magog, and Naomi Peak anchor the central topography, surrounded by a complex system of glaciated basins and high-altitude lakes. The presence of Steam Mill Canyon and a Mine near City Creek suggests the area's history of small-scale resource extraction, though the landscape is primarily defined by its primitive transportation network of pack and jeep trails.

Water resources are abundant, from Tony Grove Lake in the south to the cold waters of White Pine Lake and Crescent Lake. These features, along with the distinctively named Oxkiller Hollow and Prater Hollow, reflect the area's use by early stockmen and hunters. The map effectively traces the transition from the steep drainage of High Creek in the north to the South Fork Smithfield Canyon in the south.
