2017 Map of Dingle

About this map

Dingle Swamp dominates the center of this landscape, a vast wetland system within the broader Bear Lake Valley. The intricate water management of the region is evident through an extensive network of man-made waterways, including the Montpelier Preston Canal, Black Otter Canal, and Peg Leg Ditch, which redirect flow across the lowlands. The settlement of Dingle sits at the northeastern edge of these wetlands, serving as a gateway to the steeper elevations of Lake Ridge and Merkley Mtn to the southeast. Local infrastructure is anchored by the Bear Lake County Airport in the north and the nearby Dingle Cem. The hydraulic complexity of the area is further illustrated by the Bear-Lake Outlet and Ream Crockett Canal, reflecting a landscape defined by its historical and ongoing reliance on diverted water for agriculture and valley life.
