About this map

The Cache National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape along the Cache and Rich County line. In the late 1960s, the area remained a network of forest service management and water resources, evidenced by the Elk Valley Guard Station and Curtis Creek Guard Station. The map records a significant industrial location at the Baxter Sawmill (Site) on the banks of Curtis Creek, marking where timber operations once centered.

Water management is prominent across the terrain, from Wes Reservoir and Green Fork Reservoir to the natural Basin Beaver Ponds. Numerous named springs, including Nebeker Spring and Otter Creek Spring, supported local livestock or forestry activities. The topography is deeply carved by drainage systems like Laketown Canyon and North Gorge Canyon, while the high peaks of Red Spur Mtn overlook the transition into Strawberry Valley. A lone Radio Facility stands as a modern landmark amidst the complex system of forest roads and pack trails.
