About this map

Porcupine Reservoir dominates the southwestern corner of this landscape, fed by the waters of Porcupine Cr and the E Fork Little Bear River. This area of Cache National Forest is defined by a dense network of canyons and ridges that channel the local hydrology toward the Blacksmith Fork. The terrain is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as Porcupine Ridge and Mineral Point, illustrating the complex drainage patterns typical of the region's geography.

Evidence of the local names given to the environment appears in features like Paradise Dry Canyon and Devils Gate Canyon. These labels, alongside others such as Scare Canyon East Canyon and Bear Hollow, provide insight into the historical nomenclature used by those who navigated and managed these public forest lands. The presence of Cinnamon Cr and the Third Fork further details the intricate water system that sustains this part of Cache County.
