2020 Map of Georgetown

About this map

Georgetown and Bennington anchor the western edge of the Preuss Range, where the steep mountain front meets the agricultural expanses of the Bear Lake Valley. The landscape is defined by a series of deep drainages carved into the eastern highlands, including Georgetown Canyon, Maple Canyon, and Red Canyon, which transition from the high-elevation peaks of the Caribou National Forest down toward the Bear River. This geography highlights the 19th-century settlement patterns of the region, where communities developed along the reliable water sources of Georgetown Creek and Threemile Creek.
