2011 Map of Red Spur Mountain

About this map

Baxter Sawmill and the high-elevation drainages of Red Spur Mountain define this section of the northern Wasatch Range. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of seasonal and perennial water sources, including Otter Creek and Rock Creek, which feed into localized impoundments like Lodgepole Reservoir and Green Fork Reservoir. These water management features, alongside named springs such as Nebeker Spring and Campground Spring, indicate the historical importance of water rights and livestock grazing in the high valleys. The topography is marked by several distinct basins and flats, including Elk Valley and Little Strawberry Valley, while the presence of Basin Beaver Ponds suggests a dynamic riparian environment. This 2011 survey highlights the intersection of forest resource extraction and natural hydrology within the rugged backcountry of Cache County.
