2023 Map of Peck Canyon

About this map

Wasatch Ridge serves as a dominant topographical spine across this landscape, dividing complex drainages that define the border between Rich and Morgan counties. Within the Cache National Forest, the terrain is marked by a network of seasonal and perennial watercourses including Bull Nelson Creek and Freestone Creek, which carve deep canyons into the high country. The map documents the intricate hydrology of the Bear River Range foothills, where livestock management is evidenced by landmarks such as Saleratus Reservoir Number 3. Diverse ridge systems like Condie Ridge and Blue Ridge suggest the physical barriers that have long influenced movement through these northern Utah highlands. The inclusion of Sawmill Creek points toward the early resource extraction history of the area, while the many named canyons such as Peck Canyon and Meachum Canyon provide specific geographical markers for modern land use and historical study.
