2020 Map of Cutler Dam

About this map

Cutler Dam stands at the center of this landscape where the Bear River cuts through the Junction Hills, marking a critical point of water management and geography at the border of Box Elder and Cache counties. The surrounding terrain transitions from the low Bear River Valley to the heights of the Wellsville Mountains within the Wasatch Range. The map reveals an intricate network of irrigation, including the West Side Canal and West Canal, which support the agricultural settlements of Fielding, Newton, and Collinston. Local history is preserved in the naming of rural sites like Wheelon and several family-linked burial grounds. Genealogists will find particular value in the locations of the Poulsen Family Cem, Beaver Dam Cem, and East Garland Cem, which anchor the early families of this river corridor.
