Chalk Creek (6700 feet to 9500 feet) forms much of the north part's border, originating in the middle Unit. Basin Creek (7100 feet to 7700 feet) cuts the north part. Humpy Creek (9100 feet to 9400 feet) cuts the south part of the middle part. Although not the border of the Unit, the Weber River (7400 feet to 7800 feet) flows near the south border. Larrabee Creek (7700 feet to 9800 feet) and Moffit Creek (7800 feet to 9200 feet) flow into the Weber River on the south part of the Unit.
