About this map

Cache National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Cache and Rich counties. The terrain is characterized by a network of seasonal water sources and drainages, including Wes Reservoir, Deer Lick Reservoir, and the Basin Beaver Ponds. Historic land use and access are evident through named routes such as Baxter Sawmill Rd and Goring Corral Rd, which indicate a legacy of timber and livestock management in the Monte Cristo Range.

Topographical interest centers on Red Spur Mountain and the deep incisions of Laketown Canyon and Lodgepole Canyon. The map records numerous developed and natural water points essential for mountain navigation, from Bug Lake to the isolated Campground Spring. Winter recreation is prominently featured with established routes like Elk Valley Winter Sport and the Curtis Creek Snowmobile trail, reflecting the modern management of this high-country terrain.
