1970 Map of Nounan

About this map

Nounan and Georgetown anchor the agricultural and transport corridor of the Nounan Valley during the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the Bear River, which flows alongside the Union Pacific railroad, a vital artery for the region's ranching and mining activities. Local history is preserved in the Nounan Cem and Skinner Cem, while the western edge of the quadrangle rises into the Cache National Forest, featuring landmarks like Poulsen Ridge and South Hill. Numerous Spring and Springs feed into a network of creeks including Skinner Creek and Stauffer Creek, illustrating the intricate water management required for valley life. Significant industrial marks, such as Mines and Borrow Pit locations, suggest the extraction economy that operated alongside traditional grazing land.
