About this map

Georgetown and Bennington sit along the western edge of this 1970s survey, where the valley floor meets the rising peaks of the Caribou National Forest Range. The Union Pacific railroad tracks and a parallel Pipeline define the north-south transport corridor, tracing the natural path carved by the Bear River. This landscape is marked by a complex network of canyons and peaks, including Threemile Peak and Bald Mtn, which dominate the eastern half of the map.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible through numerous Gravel Pits and a Borrow Pit, while the agricultural character of the valley is highlighted by Storage Bins and a Gaging Station near the river. High-elevation access is documented via various Jeep Trails and Pack Trails that wind through Rowley Canyon and Maple Canyon, illustrating the era's reliance on rugged mountain paths for forest management and recreation.
