1982 Map of Alexander

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad and the historical route of the Oregon Trail converge near the settlement of Alexander, illustrating a landscape defined by both modern infrastructure and pioneer history. The impounded waters of the Alexander Reservoir dominate the southern topography, created by the Alexander Dam on the Bear River. This hydroelectric and irrigation development is supported by a network of canals, including the Int Soda Canal and the Double Wood Canal. Volcanic geology is evident in landmarks like the Alexander Crater and Old Crater, which stand in contrast to the agricultural activity at Idaho Ranch. The terrain rises sharply to the north and east through the Soda Springs Hills and the Ninety Percent Range, while Stampede Park and a Historical Mon. mark points of local cultural interest.
