About this map

Bear Lake dominates the eastern horizon of this 1990s landscape, where the turquoise waters meet the rising slopes of the Cache National Forest. The transition from the lakeshore to the high mountain peaks is marked by the winding Logan Canyon Scenic Byway, which serves as the primary artery connecting Garden City and the neighboring settlements of Lakota and Pickelville. The infrastructure of a recreation-based economy is evident, featuring the Bear Lake State Recreation Area, several campgrounds like Sunrise Campground, and a Golf Course.

Beyond the water's edge, the map documents the complex drainage and topography of the Bear River Range. Numerous named water sources, including Swan Creek Spring and Richardson Spring, dot the canyons and hollows such as Chubby Hollow and Garden City Canyon. For genealogists and local historians, the Garden City Cemetery and various landmarks like the Historical Marker near the shoreline provide specific points of interest. The presence of the Sinks Winter Trailhead and Limber Pine Trailhead highlights the area's significance for public land access and high-elevation forestry.
