About this map

The Bear River dominates this Franklin County landscape, winding through the Mound Valley before being harnessed by the Oneida Narrows Reservoir. This late 1960s survey documents a sophisticated hydraulic and industrial infrastructure, including the Oneida Station substation, a large intake, and the Cleveland Canal. The presence of geothermal activity is noted at Maple Grove Hot Springs and Hot Springs, features that remain significant landmarks along the water’s edge.

Beyond the river corridor, the terrain rises into the Cache National Forest, marked by numerous natural water sources like Williams Creek Spring and Post Hollow Spring. Local history is visible in the placement of the Cleveland Cem and the small settlement at Williams. For researchers, the map traces the network of jeep trails and pack trails that penetrate the steep eastern canyons, alongside industrial footprints like the Hale Mine and several gravel pits.
