About this map

The Bear River winds through the heart of this Box Elder and Cache County landscape, defining the industrial and agricultural character of the Bear River Valley. A complex network of irrigation infrastructure, including the West Side Canal, Hammond Main Canal, and Corinne Canal, illustrates the intensive water management required for farming between the Junction Hills and the Wellsville Mountains. The topography is marked by the Long Divide and the prominent Cache Butte, which overlook a series of small settlements and transportation hubs.

Railroad history and local genealogy are well-represented by the junction at Cache Junction and the small communities of Wheelon, Fielding, and Collinston. For those researching family roots, several burial sites are documented, such as Beaver Dam Cem, Poulsen Family Cem, and East Garland Cem. The southern portion of the map reaches into the timbered slopes of the Cache National Forest within the Wasatch Range.
