1968 Map of Malad City East

About this map

Malad City sits at the edge of the Malad Valley in this late-1960s survey, serving as a hub for the agricultural and transport corridor of Oneida County. The Union Pacific railroad tracks and modern highway infrastructure parallel the drainage of Deep Creek, while the eastern portion of the landscape rises sharply into the Caribou National Forest. Water management is a defining feature of the area, evidenced by the Deep Creek Reservoir, Upper Deep Creek Reservoir, and Weston Creek Reservoir, which supported the region's ranching and irrigation needs. Local life and industry are grounded in landmarks like the County Fairgrounds and the Malad City Cem, alongside extraction sites such as the Quarry and various Borrow Pits that suggest ongoing mid-century development. The rugged transition from Little Valley into the high canyons of the Caribou range, including Twomile Canyon, dominates the eastern half of the map.
