About this map

Wasatch Ridge defines the high country of the northern Utah landscape in this late 1960s topographic record. The survey illustrates a terrain of high drainages and divide crossings within the Cache National Forest, where the border between Rich and Morgan Counties snakes across the high ground. The drainage pattern is complex, with water moving through Lost Creek and Freestone Creek toward the south, while names like Sawmill Creek and Bull Nelson Creek suggest the early utilitarian history of these mountain canyons.

Remote and high-altitude, the area is crisscrossed by a network of Jeep Trails that provide the only access through the ridges. Named features such as Condie Ridge and Blue Ridge flank the deep incisions of Peck Canyon and Little Peck Canyon. Numerous unnamed springs are identified across the slopes, marking the critical water sources that sustain the high-forest environment and seasonal livestock movement between the steep draws of Chicken Hollow and Meachum Canyon.
