About this map

Turner Hollow and Turner Meadows sit at the center of this high-elevation landscape in Summit County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of canyons and creeks. The drainage patterns of Chalk Cr and its tributaries, including the S Fork Chalk Cr, carve through the land, creating distinctive topographical features like The Narrows and The Meadows. To the south, Hoytsville Airport provides a modern navigational point near Spring Canyon, while the high ridge of the Elkhorn Divide separates the southern watersheds.

A series of family-named roads and remote hollows, such as Snyder Ln and Blowquist Ln, suggest the long-standing agricultural and ranching use of these valleys. Higher elevations are marked by Chappell Lake and the Bear Hollow drainage, illustrating the complex geography of the Bear River Range area. The map documents the persistent rural character of this region, from the cattle-range landmarks of Deer Pen to the various canyons like Fewkes Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon that feed into the larger creek systems.
