2020 Map of Red Spur Mountain

About this map

Red Spur Mtn rises near the border of Cache Co and Rich Co, anchoring a landscape within the Cache National Forest defined by its complex hydrology and timber history. The presence of Baxter Sawmill and Baxter Sawmill Rd near the Monte Cristo Range points to the area's legacy of forest resource management. This terrain is marked by a vast network of water sources, from high-elevation basins like Bug Lake and Basin Beaver Ponds to engineered catchments such as Fence Reservoir, Lodgepole Reservoir, and Green Fork Reservoir. The map illustrates a remote wilderness managed for both recreation and utility, with specialized trails like the Sinks Trail-Winter Sport and the Curtis Creek Snowmobile route threading through Strawberry Valley and Elk Valley. This survey captures the modern state of these protected lands, highlighting the numerous springs and overlooks, including Rock Creek Overlook, that define the geography of the northern Wasatch area.
