2013 Map of Banida

About this map

Banida and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Franklin County are defined by an intricate network of irrigation and water management features. The Treasureton Canal, Twin Lakes Canal, and W Cache Canal weave through the terrain, supporting the small settlements of Winder, Clifton, and Dayton. This rural corridor is also shaped by transportation and industry markers such as Dayton Siding and Beers Spur, which point to the region's historical reliance on rail for moving goods. Central to the geography are significant water bodies including Twin Lakes Reservoir, Strong Arm Reservoir, and Winder Reservoir, which anchor the local hydrography. The presence of Wayland Hot Springs near the Bear River in the south provides a distinct landmark amidst the varied elevations of Little Mtn and Poverty Flats, reflecting a landscape utilized for both its natural resources and its strategic position in the valley.
