2020 Map of Lyman

About this map

Lyman and Fremont anchor this high-altitude landscape in Wayne County, where human settlement is closely tied to the complex irrigation networks of the Fremont River. The map details an intricate system of water management, including the High Line Ditch, Fremont Loa Ditch, and Mill Meadow Reservoir, essential for sustaining life in the arid Rabbit Valley and Tidwell Valley. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Fishlake National Forest, a region defined by high plateaus and alpine features like Blind Lake on the slopes of Thousand Lake Mtn. For local historians and genealogists, the survey identifies important family and community landmarks such as the Lyman Cem and numerous springs like Tidwell Spring and Bicknell Springs that have historically dictated grazing patterns and homestead locations. This map highlights the clear transition from valley floor agriculture to the forest-covered heights of Pole Canyon.
