About this map

The Monte Cristo Range and Red Spur Mtn dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Cache National Forest. This 2014 survey documents a region defined by complex water management and rugged drainages, where the boundary between Rich and Cache counties snakes through the center of the sheet. The southern portion of the map highlights industrial history at the Baxter Sawmill, accessible via Baxter Sawmill Rd, signifying the area's utility for timber resources.

Hydrological features are abundant, ranging from established catchments like Wes Reservoir and Deer Lick Reservoir to more natural formations like the Basin Beaver Ponds. The presence of numerous named springs—such as Heber Spring, Saddle Creek Spring, and Cabin Spring—indicates a landscape where water sources were critical for both the ecosystem and the cattle operations often found in high mountain valleys like Elk Valley and Strawberry Valley.
