About this map

Sharp Mountain rises at the center of this high-elevation landscape within the Cache National Forest, marking a rugged divide between several significant watersheds. The drainage patterns recorded here are intricate, with the E Fork Little Bear River flowing through the northern reaches while the Left Fork Middle Fork Ogden River and Right Fork Middle Fork Ogden River define the southern terrain across the Cache and Weber County line.

Modern residential development is evident in the southeastern corner, where streets named for regional frontiersmen like N Jim Bridger Dr E and N Kit Carson Dr E wind through the highlands. These newer developments contrast with the traditional land uses suggested by Sawmill Canyon and Mineral Point, reflecting the transition of this area from industrial resource extraction and timbering toward seasonal recreation and mountain living near the turn of the 21st century.
