2011 Map of Old Canyon

About this map

Otter Creek and its various branches dominate this high-elevation terrain in Rich County during the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by significant vertical relief, stretching from the water storage at Nick Reservoir and Lodgepole Reservoir up to prominent summits like Monument Peak and Twin Peaks. The complex drainage patterns of the Bear River Range are evident through features such as Middle Branch Otter Creek and South Branch Otter Creek, which carve through the high country alongside named landmarks like Long Ridge. This 2011 survey documents the hydrological and topographical details of the region, including numerous water sources essential for high-country livestock or wildlife, such as Clauson Spring, Keg Spring, and Willow Spring. The map traces primitive access routes including Otter Creek Rd and New Canyon Rd, providing a clear record of the area's infrastructure and natural landmarks in the modern era.
