About this map

The Malad Range dominates this landscape along the Idaho and Utah border, where the steep canyons of the Cache National Forest and Caribou National Forest meet the agricultural flats of the Malad River valley. The settlement of Woodruff sits at the base of the mountains, served by the Union Pacific railroad at Woodruff (Siding). This survey captures the complex water rights and land management of the era, marking numerous water sources like Picnic Spring, Willow Spring, and the Weston Creek Reservoir.

Transitioning from the high ridges of Skyline Road to the valley floor, the map reveals the late-1960s infrastructure of the region, including a Gaging Station and several borrow pits. Of particular interest to historians are the boundary lines, including the Hanson State Boundary Survey of 1896 and the Sunnenkalb State Boundary Survey of 1898, which define the interstate line between Oneida County, Idaho, and Box Elder County, Utah.
