Editing Morgan County, Utah (section)

==Geography==
The central core of Morgan County, the narrow East Canyon valley (now called Morgan Valley), is ringed by mountains. In its southern portion, Main Canyon Creek flows southward from Summit County to join East Canyon Creek, which flows northward from a different portion of Summit County. At their intersection, a dam has been installed to create [[East Canyon State Park|East Canyon Reservoir and State Park]]. The combined discharge (now called East Canyon Creek) from the dam flows northwestward to Morgan, where it combines with Deep Creek to discharge into the [[Weber River]], which also flows into the county from Summit and follows Lost Canyon to the Morgan Valley. The now-augmented Weber flows northwestward to Mountain Green, then turns west to exit the county through [[Weber Canyon]]. The terrain generally slopes to the north and west, with its highest point, Thurston Peak, at {{convert|9,706|ft|m|abbr=on}} ASL.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.peakbagger.com/list.aspx?lid=13209 |title=Utah County High Points/Morgan Co.
