About this map

Thomas Fork winds through the central valley of this 1970 survey, anchoring a high-country landscape along the Idaho and Wyoming border. The settlement of Geneva sits in the northern reaches, supported by the Geneva Cem, while the community of Raymond is found further south near the Raymond Substation. This area is defined by its transition from ranching lands to the steep terrain of the Sublette Range and Sheep Creek Hills.

Local history and family landmarks are well-represented by the G H Hall Ranch and Mumford Ranch, illustrating the rural development of Bear Lake Co during this era. Industrial and utility footprints are visible through several Prospect sites, a Diversion Dam, and the Radio Facility near Rose Canyon. The geography is further marked by named drainages like Bischoff Canyon and Wood Canyon, which cut through the Preuss range.
