About this map

Cambridge serves as the focal point of this mid-1980s topographic record, situated where several drainages converge in the Salubria Valley. The town's layout is clearly visible, including the local Fairground and a nearby Cem northwest of the main settlement. The agricultural character of the region is defined by the management of the Little Weiser River, which is diverted through the Middle Valley Canal and the Middle Valley Ditch to sustain the surrounding valley floors.

To the west, the landscape transitions into the distinct Shoe Peg Valley and the higher terrain surrounding Keithly. This area is marked by numerous seasonal and perennial watercourses like Pine Creek, Dixie Creek, and Deer Creek. The mapping of small-scale features such as Fairchild Gulch Road and various gulches like Two Tree Gulch highlights the complex drainage patterns that historically shaped settlement and movement throughout this portion of Washington County.
