About this map

Ovid, Lanark, and Liberty serve as the primary clusters of settlement in this part of Bear Lake County during the early twenty-first century. The landscape is defined by its canyon systems and agricultural water management, with Hammond Dam and the Little Valley Reservoir regulating Hammond Creek in the south. Several family-named features and rural landmarks appear throughout the valley, such as Poulsen Ridge and the distinctively named The Dell located west of Liberty.

Genealogists can trace early area residents through the presence of three distinct burial grounds: Liberty Cemetery, Ovid Cemetery, and Lanark Cemetery. Transport routes like Copenhagen RD and Sharon Loop connect these communities, while the upper elevations are marked by seasonal springs including Sago Spring and Hoopgobel Spring. The map documents a rural Idaho landscape where mountain ridges like Morgan Canyon give way to the irrigated flats surrounding Ovid Creek.
