About this map

Bear River dominates this northern Utah landscape, winding through a complex topography where the Junction Hills and Long Divide meet. By the late 1990s, the river’s power was fully harnessed by the Cutler Reservoir and multiple irrigation systems, including the West Corinne Canal and Hammond Canal. These waterways supported the established settlements of Fielding and Collinston, while a Powerhouse and Gaging Station near the dam reflect the area's hydroelectric development.

The Union Pacific railroad corridor provides a secondary axis for growth, connecting remote outposts like Wheelon and Cache Junction. The southern portion of the map transitions into the steep slopes of the Wellsville Mountains within the Cache National Forest. Cultural markers, such as a Historical Monument and various Cem locations, offer valuable points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the heritage of Box Elder and Cache counties.
