About this map

Saleratus Creek meanders through the high basins of Rich County, Utah, providing a central drainage for a landscape defined by seasonal water and ranching infrastructure. The hydrologic network is a mix of natural springs like Eagle Springs and Halfway Spring and managed water systems including the Co-Op Ditch, which reflects the historical cooperation required for agriculture in this arid environment. Significant grazing and transit lands are identified by large named meadows and depressions, most notably Big Meadow and the expansive Wheatgrass Hollow.

Towards the southern edge, the Neponset Reservoir stands as a primary landmark, collecting runoff from the surrounding canyons. The terrain is marked by family-named landmarks and ranching routes, with Home Ranch Rd and Main Ranch Way cutting through named topographic features such as Meachum Canyon and Home Canyon. This 2023 edition documents the persistent character of this high-altitude cattle country, where names like Blue Grass Pond and Red Hill remain fixed in the local geography.
