About this map

The Bear River meanders through the heart of the Cache Valley, creating a complex wetland environment defined by features like Horseshoe Bend and The Island. This 2017 survey details the hydrologic network essential to the region's agricultural character, including the extensive Cutler Reservoir and multiple drainage systems such as Clay Slough and The Slough. The landscape is a mix of riparian bottomlands and the rising slopes of the Wasatch Range to the southwest.

Small agricultural communities and junctions dot the valley floor, connected by a rigid grid of rural roads. From the larger settlement of Newton in the northwest to Amalga and Benson, the map traces the human footprint on the land. Significant water management is evident through the S Logan Benson Canal and various creeks like Fourmile Cr and Blue Spring Cr, which support the scattered habitations at Petersboro, Peter, and Ballard Junction.
