About this map

Mountain Green and the surrounding Morgan Valley sit at the crossroads of mountain recreation and agricultural heritage in this 2011 record of the Wasatch Range. The landscape is dominated by the steep slopes of Snow Basin Ski Area, featuring iconic peaks and bowls such as De Moisy Peak, The Needles, and Mount Ogden Bowl. These alpine features transition sharply into the drainage systems of the Weber River and Cottonwood Creek, where the valley floor supports infrastructure like the Morgan Municipal Airport and the Mountain Green Cemetery.

A notable historical throughway is visible at Devils Gate and Gateway, where the river cuts a path followed by the Gateway Tunnel. Evidence of earlier resource extraction persists at the Strawberry Mine near Strawberry Creek, while modern water management is represented by Wilkinson Reservoir and the Northwest Reservoir. The map illustrates a complex topography where high-altitude campgrounds like Wildcat Campground and South Arm Campground overlook a network of seasonal springs and perennial creeks that feed the Pineview Reservoir to the north.
