2010 Map of Dingle

About this map

Bear Lake Outlet and the Bear River define the intricate water-management landscape of the northern Bear Lake Valley. This 2010 survey illustrates a complex network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure essential to the region's agricultural character, including the Rainbow Canal, Peg Leg Ditch, and Black Otter Canal. The settlement of Dingle sits on the eastern edge of these wetlands, serving as a focal point for local genealogy with the Dingle Cemetery located just south of the town center. The presence of the Bear Lake County Airport in the northern portion of the quadrangle indicates the area's modern transportation role. To the south and east, the terrain rises toward Merkley Mountain and Lake Ridge, overlooking the expansive marshes and Merkley Lake, showing how the local geography transitions from the flat, canal-crossed valley floor to more elevated land.
