1964 Map of Cutler Dam

About this map

The Bear River carves a deep path through the Junction Hills and Long Divide on this 1964 survey, centered on the critical water infrastructure of the Cutler Dam. This landscape is defined by its complex irrigation network, featuring the West Side Canal and Hammond Main Canal that support the agricultural lands around Fielding. The Union Pacific Railroad serves the industrial and transport needs of the valley, passing through small hubs like Collinston and Cache Junction, where an Old Grade hints at earlier rail alignments. In the rugged southeast, the Wellsville Mountains and Cache National Forest provide a sharp contrast to the developed river corridor. For local historians, the map details technical aspects of the dam site, including a Powerhouse, Intake Tower, and Gaging Station, illustrating the mid-century engineering of the Bear River valley.
