1955 Map of Mouth of Bear River

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge dominates this delta landscape, where the Bear River meets the Great Salt Lake. In the mid-1950s, the area was defined by a complex network of man-made structures designed to manage the flow of water and silt across the mud flats and marshes. A system of levees carves out distinct water bodies like North Bay and South Bay, reflecting a highly engineered environment for waterfowl conservation and sportsmanship. Small structures such as the Refuge Hdqrs and a Lookout provide operational oversight, while the Duckville Gun Club represents the area's legacy of recreational hunting. The landscape is a transition of water and sediment, featuring landforms like Mushback Point and Rock Island amidst tidal channels and vast salt flats.
