Logan serves as the hub of a thriving agricultural and industrial valley in this early twentieth-century survey, flanked by the high peaks of the Cache National Forest. The landscape reveals a complex network of irrigation and transportation, where the Bear River and Cub River feed into a grid of canals and rail lines, including the Oregon Short Line and Cache Valley RR. Industrial footprints are clearly visible, notably the Sugar Factory south of the city and the Valley Mill near Richmond.

In the eastern mountains, the map details the rugged interior of the Wasatch Range, reaching up to Mt Naomi Pk. This area is marked by high-altitude features like Tony Grove Lake and White Pine Lake, alongside remote mining operations such as the Amazon Mine.
