About this map

Nounan and the surrounding agricultural lands in Bear Lake County are defined by a network of creeks and drainage canals that feed into the northward-flowing Bear River. In the early twenty-first century, the landscape retains its rural character, anchored by small settlements like Lindsayville and Novene. The presence of Creamery Ln near Nounan points to the local dairy history that shaped the development of these mountain valleys.

Genealogists can find significant landmarks such as the Skinner Cemetery and the Nounan Cemetery tucked near the base of the canyon slopes. The topography transitions from the flat valley floor to the prominent South Hill and the deep cuts of Skinner Cyn and Stauffer Canyon. To the west, the managed water of Bartlett Lake and Fife Dam illustrates the ongoing importance of water control for the region's ranching and farming operations.
