1964 Map of Newton

About this map

The confluence of the Bear River and Little Bear River dominates this landscape in the mid-1960s, creating the expansive Cutler Reservoir. The hydrology of Cache Valley is intricately mapped, showing the essential West Cache Canal, Cache Valley Canal, and numerous sloughs like The Barrens and The Slough that support the region's agricultural footprint. Settlement is concentrated in small communities such as Newton, Amalga, and Benson, the latter featuring the Benson Sch. Transport history is visible through the Union Pacific line and an Old Railroad Grade that traces an earlier route through the valley floor. Notable local landmarks like Quigley Crossing and the prominent Black Rock near The Point provide specific geographic anchors for genealogists and local historians tracing family land in this part of Utah.
