About this map

Logan serves as the bustling heart of the Cache Valley in this early 20th-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial development and irrigation. The presence of the Sugar Factory near College Spur highlights the agricultural economy of the era, while the Oregon Short Line and the Ogden Logan and Idaho Ry provide the critical transportation links connecting settlements like Smithfield and Richmond to the wider region.

Beyond the valley floor, the terrain rises sharply into the Cache National Forest, where resource extraction and backcountry management are visible through sites like the Amazon Mine and various ranger stations, including the Card Canyon Ranger Station. The map captures a detailed network of rural education, featuring the Stephenson School and Mountain Home School, alongside smaller hamlets like Petersboro and Paradise that have long anchored this high mountain valley.
