About this map

The high alpine bowls of the Wasatch Range dominate this landscape, showcasing the complex topography of the Snow Basin area as it appeared in the late 2010s. The map details the transition from the steep peaks of The Needles and De Moisy Peak down into the fertile valley of the Weber River. To the south, the community of Mountain Green serves as a focal point for the region's transport and aviation, centered around the Morgan County Airport.

Transport and water management infrastructure define the lowlands, where the Gateway Tunnel and various reservoirs like Northwest Reservoir and Wilkinson Reservoir support the local environment. Genealogical markers are found in the Mountain Green Cem and near the settlement of Peterson. The map also captures the meeting of three major administrative lines, showing the intersection of Weber, Morgan, and Davis counties amidst the protected lands of the Cache National Forest and Wasatch National Forest.
