1969 Map of Laketown

About this map

Laketown serves as the hub of this rural Rich County landscape, situated where the high desert terrain meets the southern shoreline of Bear Lake. This survey captures the transition from irrigated valley agriculture to the steep, canyon-cut highlands of the Bear River Range. The settlement pattern is defined by the broad flatlands of Meadowville Valley and Round Valley, where Big Creek meanders toward the lake. Educational and community foundations are anchored by North Rich HS and the Laketown Cem, while recreational development is evident at Rendezvous Beach State Park. To the east and south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as the map tracks numerous drainages like Laketown Canyon and Pine Canyon, providing a detailed look at the water sources and mountain tracks, including several Jeep Trails and isolated springs, vital for local ranching and upland access during this era.
