About this map

Portage and the agricultural settlements of Woodruff and Cherry Creek anchor the western edge of this landscape, situated within the broad Malad Valley. This 2017 survey details the complex water management systems of the region, including the Samaria Lake Canal and the meandering course of the Malad River as it flows south toward the Utah border. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Malad Range, where the high country is protected by the Caribou National Forest.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the network of rural roads such as S Old Highway 191 and Maiden Ln that connect these farming communities. The eastern mountains are incised by numerous drainages, including Black Canyon, Burnett Canyon, and Cherry Canyon. Notable water sources like Weston Creek Reservoir and Jenkins Hollow Spring emphasize the importance of water rights in this arid borderland between Box Elder County, Utah, and Oneida County, Idaho.
