About this map

Peterson and its surrounding mountain peaks define this 2011 survey, showing a landscape where valley settlement meets high-altitude infrastructure. The town is situated along the Weber River, near where Dry Hollow and the Enterprise Slough converge. Local history is anchored by the Peterson Cemetery located just west of the main settlement.

Further west, the terrain rises sharply toward the ridgelines of Thurston Peak and Nielsons Peak. Modern utility and recreation are evident on the summits, particularly at Francis Peak, which hosts the Francis Radar Station and the Francis Peak Overlook. A complex drainage network of creeks, including the various forks of Peterson Creek and Dalton Creek, provides a detailed look at the watershed before it reaches the valley floor near the Sunset Campground.
