1970 Map of Nounan

About this map

Nounan Valley dominates this 1970s landscape, where the rural settlement of Nounan sits at the foot of Skinner Canyon. The map reveals a high-elevation environment defined by spring-fed drainages like Stauffer Creek and Co-op Creek flowing out of the Cache National Forest. In the east, the Bear River winds through the Bear Lake Valley, accompanied by the Union Pacific rail line and the Georgetown (Siding). This survey captures the region's agricultural and industrial foundations, featuring several Borrow Pits and Mines tucked into the western slopes. Genealogists can locate legacy sites such as Skinner Cem and Nounan Cem, while landmarks like Bartlett Lake and Poulsen Ridge provide clear reference points for those studying the 20th-century topography of Bear Lake County.
