About this map

Ovid and Liberty anchor this topographic survey of Bear Lake County, documenting the rural character of southeastern Idaho’s Bear Lake Valley. The landscape is defined by the agricultural settlements of Sharon, Bern, and Lanark, connected by a network of local roads including Bern Rd and Lanark Rd. To the west, the foothills of the Cache National Forest rise above the valley floor, carved by drainages like Emigration Cr and Mill Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the three distinct burial sites — Liberty Cem, Ovid Cem, and Lanark Cem — which sit near their respective communities. The presence of the Little Valley Reservoir and numerous named springs, such as Crystal Spring and Miles Canyon Spring, highlights the critical role of water management in this high-altitude ranching and farming region.
