2017 Map of Georgetown

About this map

Georgetown sits at the foot of the Preuss Range within the Bear Lake Valley, serving as a gateway to the high elevations of the Caribou National Forest. This landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the irrigated valley floors near the Bear River to the complex drainage systems of the eastern mountains. A network of canyons, including Georgetown Canyon and Pine Canyon, dissects the terrain, leading toward prominent landmarks like Threemile Peak and Bald Mtn. To the south, the settlement of Bennington provides another anchor point for local history, located near the entrance to Bennington Canyon. The survey illustrates the persistence of rural infrastructure, with numerous named roads such as Stringtown Rd and Pescadero Rd following the natural contours of the benches and creek bottoms. These thoroughfares connect the clustered residences of the valley to the resource-rich highlands of Honeycomb and Jack Hollow.
