1969 Map of Leefe

About this map

The Bear River winds through this high-altitude landscape where the borders of Utah and Wyoming meet. At the time of this 1969 field check, the industrial presence of the Union Pacific railroad and the settlement of Leefe anchored the northeastern corner of the map. The landscape is defined by the intersection of water management and transit, with irrigation infrastructure like the Mc Farland Ditch and Twin Creek Ditch cutting across the terrain to support local livestock or agriculture. The western reaches are dominated by the rising slopes of the Crawford Mountains, while the central valley floor contains the marshy reaches of Rabbit Creek and Duck Creek. Industrial activity is evident near the rail line, marked by a Tailings Pond and Gravel Pit, reflecting the area's mineral extraction history during the late 20th century.
