2014 Map of Bear River City

About this map

Bear River City and Corinne anchor this 2014 geographic study of the Bear River Valley, where the Malad River joins the larger Bear River current before it empties into the northern reaches of the Great Salt Lake. The landscape is a complex network of hydrological features and irrigation corridors, including Appledale Slough, Sulphur Creek, and the wetlands of North Bay and East Bay. To the west, the terrain rises sharply toward Little Mountain, a prominent landmark overlooking the mineral-rich waters of Stinking Springs. The southern edge of the map transitions into the salt flats and marshes near Fish Fossil Rocks, while the Corinne Cemetery serves as a significant genealogical point of interest on the outskirts of its namesake settlement. This modern survey illustrates the enduring relationship between the region's agricultural road grid, such as Iowa String Road, and the natural flow of the river system.
