About this map

Honeyville and Deweyville sit at the western base of the Wellsville Mountains, where the steep slopes of the Cache National Forest meet the fertile Bear River valley. This 1961 survey depicts a landscape defined by water management and transit, with the Hammond Canal and the Union Pacific railroad corridor running parallel between the peaks and the meandering Bear River. The abundance of natural water sources is evident through numerous named sites such as Crystal Springs, Honeyville Springs, and Cold Spring Lakes.

Higher elevations to the east are marked by prominent summits like Wellsville Cone, Box Elder Peak, and Mendon Peak. These rugged sections are bisected by numerous canyons, including Coldwater Canyon and Yonk Canyon, which drain into the valley below. Notable human traces include an Old Railroad Grade in the northeast and isolated Ruins near Walter Ahern Spring, providing specific points of interest for local historians studying early settlement patterns in Box Elder County.
