About this map

Snow Basin and the surrounding high-altitude bowls of the Wasatch National Forest define this landscape at the start of the 1990s. The map illustrates the complex recreational and hydrological infrastructure of the region, from the ski runs of Middle Bowl and Strawberry Bowl to the intricate network of water management features like the Northwest Ditch and the South Fork Ogden River. In the lower elevations, the settlement of Mountain Green serves as a focal point near the Weber River, where the Mtn Green Cemetery and a County Airport mark the community's footprint.

The boundary between the Cache National Forest and its southern neighbor runs through prominent summits like Sardine Peak and Strawberry Peak. Significant water resources are mapped in detail, including Pineview Reservoir in the north and the Wilkinson Reservoir to the south. This era shows the developed nature of the Weber Valley corridor, where the small settlement of Gateway sits at the entrance to the canyon, supported by various gravel pits and historical markers that indicate the long-standing importance of this passage through the mountains.
