1998 Map of Peterson

About this map

Morgan Valley and the steep slopes of the Wasatch National Forest dominate this landscape during the late 1990s. The settlement of Peterson serves as a focal point near the Weber River, where early local families are memorialized at the Peterson Cem. This area reveals the complex transition from river-valley agriculture to high-elevation forest management, including the Military Springs Reservation and various communication facilities atop prominent summits. High-altitude landmarks like Francis Peak and Nielsons Peak overlook a dense network of drainages such as Hardscrabble Creek and the forks of Peterson Creek. The map also traces established routes for travel and recreation, including the Skyline Drive and the Great Western Trail, which follow the high ridges along the boundary of Morgan and Davis counties.
