About this map

Soldier Summit sits at a critical mountain pass in the Wasatch Range, serving as a high-altitude drainage divide for the White River and Soldier Creek. This 2011 survey illustrates a landscape defined by its deep canyons and prominent ridges, including Aagard Ridge and Road Ridge to the south. The convergence of the Middle Fork, Left Fork, and Right Fork of the White River creates a complex drainage network that has dictated travel and settlement in this corridor for generations.

Historical routes such as the Handcart Trl and Timber Canyon Rd offer traces of the area's movement history, while terrain features like Tabbyune Canyon and Watch Canyon highlight the elevation changes surrounding the summit. The map captures the quiet, upland character of Utah County before the modern era’s changes, showing how natural landmarks like Gremo Hill and Wide Ridge continue to define the geography of this high mountain pass.
