About this map

Thomas Fork Valley serves as the central artery for this landscape on the Idaho-Wyoming border, where the high-altitude agricultural tradition of Bear Lake County is clearly visible. The settlement of Geneva sits near the head of a complex irrigation network, including the Geneva Ditch and Halls Ditch, which channel water across the valley floor. To the west, the Preuss Range rises sharply, while the Sublette Range dominates the eastern horizon in Wyoming.

Genealogists can find specific burial sites at Geneva Cem and Raymond Cem, located near the small community of Raymond. The map reveals a high concentration of family-named infrastructure, such as Teuscher Ln, Bauman Ln, and Steven Larson Ditch, reflecting the enduring homesteading legacy of this remote mountain valley. The intricate system of canals like Taylor Canal and Raymond Canal illustrates the intensive water management required to sustain life between the Sheep Creek Hills and the surrounding peaks.
