About this map

Mapleton and Cherryville anchor the western edge of this 1969 survey, where the valley floor transitions into the high elevations of the Cache National Forest. The landscape is defined by the steep canyons and ridges of the Bear River Range, including Andrew Nyman Mountain and the high Gibson Lakes. A dense network of drainage systems including Cub River, Worm Creek, and Foster Creek carve through the terrain, supported by numerous named water sources like Chatterton Spring and Paul Jones Spring.

Tracing the historical accessibility of the region, the map details several backcountry routes such as the Self Help Trail and Litz Trail that climb through Litz Basin and Sugar Hollow. Evidence of early resource exploration is noted by a Prospect located near the headwaters of Deep Creek. The boundary line for the Idaho Utah state border runs along the southern margin, marking the southern extent of Franklin Co at the time of the survey.
