2017 Map of Banida

About this map

Banida and the surrounding agricultural lands of Franklin County are defined by a complex network of irrigation that supports this corner of the Cache Valley. The landscape is dominated by the Bear River and numerous reservoirs, including Twin Lakes Reservoir and Winder Reservoir, which supply the intricate Twin Lakes Canal system. This 2017 survey details the intersection of regional commerce and rural life, showing the proximity of Preston and Dayton to specialized landmarks like Wayland Hot Springs. Smaller settlements such as Winder, Clifton, and Coulam are connected by a grid of local roads and the legacy of the Beers Spur rail line. The terrain transitions from the marshy Oxford Slough to the higher ground of Little Mtn and the appropriately named Poverty Flats.
