About this map

Cutler Dam stands as the central engineering feature of this landscape, impounding the Bear River to create the Cutler Reservoir. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of the Wellsville Mountains and the Wasatch Range in the south toward the agricultural flats of the Bear River Valley. This 2017 survey details a network of irrigation and infrastructure, including the W Side Canal and the West Side Canal, which have long supported the local farming economy.

Genealogists will find significant local markers such as the Beaver Dam Cem and the Poulsen Family Cem near the settlement of Peter. The map also traces the importance of the rail corridor at Cache Junction and small rural communities like Collinston and Wheelon. These settlements, set against landmarks like Cache Butte and Black Rock, illustrate the enduring relationship between the valley's water resources and its residential development.
