About this map

Bear River meanders across the high plains of the Wyoming and Utah border, defining a landscape of intensive water management and rural settlement. The small community of Leefe sits near the eastern edge of the quadrangle, connected to the wider region via E Highway 30 and CR 220. To the southwest, Sage Creek Junction serves as a notable crossroads where local travel routes converge. The terrain is characterized by the prominent Crawford Mountains in the south, while the northern reaches are marked by an intricate network of irrigation systems including the Beckwith and Quinn Canal, McFarland Ditch, and Twin Cr Ditch.

Resource distribution is vital here, evidenced by landmarks like Sixmile Reservoir and named water sources such as Sucker Spring and McKinnon Spring. The map reveals how the natural course of Rabbit Cr and Bridger Cr has been supplemented by canals like the Sage Cr Canal to support the local economy. This survey documents the intersection of two states and two counties, Lincoln and Rich, at a time of continued reliance on these historical water rights and transportation corridors.
