1969 Map of Old Canyon

About this map

Twin Peaks and Monument Peak anchor this high-elevation landscape in Rich County, where the topography of the Cache National Forest is defined by a series of deep drainages. Numerous named canyons, including Laketown Canyon, New Canyon, and Pole Canyon, cut through the terrain toward the east. The water network is particularly dense for this arid region, featuring a high concentration of named springs such as Key Spring, Clawson Spring, and Longhurst Spring, alongside the Nick Reservoir and Lodgepole Reservoir. This pattern of named water sources suggests the area's importance for local livestock grazing and water management in the late 1960s. Transportation is limited to a remote Jeep Trail winding through Old Canyon, reflecting the area's primary use for forest management and seasonal access rather than permanent settlement.
