About this map

The Wasatch Range dominates the eastern half of this 1916 survey, where the Cache National Forest provides a backdrop for a complex network of canyons and high peaks like Naomi Pk and Mt Magog. In the fertile valley to the west, the Bear River and Cub River sustain a series of established agricultural communities connected by the Oregon Short Line and the Ogden Logan and Idaho RR.

Industry and local infrastructure are well-documented, with the prominent Sugar Factory near Logan reflecting the region's agricultural processing roots. High-elevation landmarks such as the Amazon Mine and various ranger stations like the Leatham Ranger Station indicate the economic importance of the mountains. Several rural schoolhouses, including the Wheeler School and Mountain Home School, are plotted alongside family holdings like Hardware Ranch, offering a detailed view of social and economic life in Cache County just before the First World War.
