About this map

Orkney Springs and Basye anchor this section of the Great North Mountain region, showing a landscape defined by its historical springs and modern recreation. The resort character of the area is evident in the proximity of the Shrine Mont Church Camp to the more developed Bryce Resort and Bryce Airport. The presence of Lake Laura and Lake Carroll highlights the development of water resources for seasonal residents and visitors, while the surrounding terrain is marked by numerous springs such as Shenandoah Alum Springs and Upper Cove Spring.

Smaller, less developed settlements like Hepners, Basore, and Macanie sit along the winding valley roads, contrasting with the resort hubs. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems including Stony Cr, Beetle Run, and Alum Run. Prominent peaks like Bryce Mountain and Powder Springs Mountain frame the residential clusters, while landmarks like Furnace Knob point to the area's older industrial or communal history.
