About this map

The Camp Williams State Military Res dominates this mid-century landscape where the Oquirrh Mountains meet the Traverse Mountains. This area serves as a critical interface between the high ridges of Black Ridge and the northern reaches of the Cedar Valley. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage systems, including Tickville Gulch and Butterfield Canyon, which were vital for managing water in this arid environment.

Evidence of early infrastructure and resource management is visible through the Cedar Fort Ditch and several named water sources like Tickville Spring and Oak Springs. Several prospect locations and tailings near Castro Gulch point to the mining activity characteristic of the region's industrial history. The map also traces the boundary between Salt Lake County and Utah County, illustrating how political lines were drawn across prominent summits like Shaggy Peak and Step Mtn.
