What bounds unit Cache, Crawford Mtn
UDWR has unit Cache, Crawford Mtn Boundary begins at the Utah-Wyoming state line and SR-16; north on SR-16 to SR-30 at Sage Creek Junction; east on SR-30 to the Utah-Wyoming state line; south on this state line to SR-16. It tells you the shape of the unit and nothing about its inhabitants. Its value is practical — those are the features you will navigate by, and the ridges that separate one day's country from another's.
High ground inside the line: Crawford Mountains and Rex Peak
Named high points inside the unit include Crawford Mountains at 7,967 feet and Rex Peak at 7,958 feet. None carries a public-land flag we trust, so settle the ownership question before you plan to stand on one. Mule deer on open country use every fold and draw there is, and almost none of the flat.
Holding ground: Coal Hollow, Wood Pass and Twin Hollows
Below them sit Coal Hollow at 6,303 feet, Wood Pass at 7,061 feet, Twin Hollows at 6,480 feet, Dry Hollow Flats at 6,394 feet and Brazier Canyon at 6,341 feet. Those are the basins, parks and bottoms this unit has, and they are what you glass into from above. Two you can watch from a single knob is worth more than five you have to drive between.
Water: Crystal Spring, Larson Spring and Warner Spring
The water inside the unit line comes to 1,126 mapped stream reaches, 1 lakes, 6 stock tanks and 7 springs. Named sources include Crystal Spring, Larson Spring, Warner Spring, Mud Spring and Rees Well. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.
Before you apply: who owns this unit
A UDWR permit does not authorise hunting on Native American trust lands, on a CWMU without that CWMU's own permit, or on National Park land, and written permission is required to hunt private land. Our ownership read for this unit is approximate — it comes out as Private / Other 100%, so treat it as a starting point and check a current land-status layer before you plan a route. The unit runs from 6,233 feet to 7,917 feet, averaging 6,540 — not much relief, so the animals move laterally rather than up and down.
