2017 Map of Laketown

About this map

Laketown sits at the southern tip of Bear Lake, serving as a focal point for this high-altitude valley's agricultural and recreational life. The landscape is defined by the transition from the turquoise waters at Rendezvous Beach to the steep, dissected terrain of the Bear River Range, where deep incisions like Laketown Canyon and Old Laketown Canyon drain toward the lake. This 2017 survey reveals a grid of rural roads and residential clusters, including the settlement of Garden and the broader expanse of Meadowville Valley. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds like the Laketown Cem and the more remote Round Valley Cem near Cottonwood Canyon. The importance of water in this arid environment is evident in the naming of perennial sources such as Falula Spring and Kearl Spring, which have supported ranching and settlement in the area for generations.
