2017 Map of Lyman

About this map

The Fremont River valley defines the western reach of this survey, supporting the small rural settlements of Fremont and Lyman. The local economy is visibly tied to the management of water and terrain, evidenced by the High Line Ditch and numerous irrigation-dependent sites like Tidwell Reservoir and Mill Meadow Reservoir. To the east, the landscape rises dramatically into the Fishlake National Forest, where the terrain is marked by prominent geological features such as Thousand Lake Mtn and the Yellow Ledges. This area is a patchwork of grazing lands and drainage basins, with named features like Horse Pasture and Sage Flat indicating traditional land use. Genealogists may find interest in the precise location of the Lyman Cem situated just west of the town center, while local historians can trace the network of forest trails and roads, including the Red Canyon Rd and Tidwell Rd, that connected these mountain flats to the valley floor.
