1916 Map of Logan

About this map

Agricultural and industrial development in Cache Valley is defined by the extensive irrigation network and rail infrastructure surrounding Logan. In the years following the turn of the century, the Oregon Short Line railroad anchored a string of settlements from Cornish and Lewiston in the north to Wellsville in the south. The local economy is visibly centered on the processing of sugar beets, evidenced by the Sugar Factory and its dedicated Sugar Spur, while the Valley Mill and numerous canals like the West Cache Canal underscore the importance of water management in this high-altitude basin.
