About this map

The Weber River winds through the Morgan Valley at the northeastern edge of this 1991 survey, where the small community of Peterson serves as a primary point of reference. The settlement's local history is anchored by the Peterson Cem and the surrounding irrigation network of canals and pipelines. To the west, the landscape rises dramatically into the Wasatch National Forest, dominated by the high ridgeline separating Davis and Morgan counties.

High-altitude landmarks such as Francis Peak and Nielsons Peak define the skyline, which is also marked by technical infrastructure including Radio Facilities and a Radio Tower. The rugged western slopes are etched with numerous drainages like Shepard Creek and Farmington Creek, while human activity in the forest is evidenced by the winding Skyline Drive, a Pack Trail, and the high-elevation Sunset Mine.
