1986 Map of Red Spur Mtn

About this map

Wasatch Cache National Forest dominates this high-country survey along the border of Cache and Rich counties. The landscape is defined by its water management and early administrative history, featuring several vital drainage systems and high-altitude valleys. The presence of the Elk Valley Guard Station and Curtis Creek Guard Station reflects the early 20th-century management of these timber and grazing lands. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Baxter Sawmill (Site) marks a point of historical industry where local timber was processed. Topographical highlights include the broad Strawberry Valley and the North Gorge Canyon, while numerous water sources like Deer Lick Reservoir and the Basin Beaver Ponds supported the high-altitude ecosystem. This 1986 update includes revisions from 1981 aerial photography, showing the persistent network of jeep trails and a prominent pipeline crossing the terrain.
