2013 Map of Border

About this map

Thomas Fork Valley anchors this high-desert landscape where the Bear River meanders across the state line between Idaho and Wyoming. This 2013 survey illustrates the complex irrigation network vital to the region, featuring the Raymond Canal, Cook Canal, and Nuffer Canal which divert water to the surrounding basins. The small settlements of Border Junction and Border sit at the intersection of Us-30 E and Border Rd, serving as crossroads for those traveling through the Sublette Range or towards the Preuss Range to the west. Local topography is defined by significant landmarks such as Border Summit, Boundary Ridge, and the winding Swine Bend Hollow. The map also captures several family-named water features like Etcheverry Ditch and Francis Ditch, reflecting the long-standing agricultural history of these borderland communities.
