2017 Map of Ovid

About this map

Ovid, Idaho, and the surrounding high-altitude agricultural settlements of the Bear Lake Valley are documented in this contemporary survey. The landscape is defined by its transition from the valley floor to the timbered slopes of the Cache National Forest, with a network of irrigation and natural drainage including Ovid Creek, Mill Cr, and Emigration Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the map serves as a detailed ledger of the region’s small communities and their resting places, including Liberty Cem, Ovid Cem, and Lanark Cem. The layout of the roads, such as Bern-Nounan Rd and Old Mill Rd, reflects a history of movement between isolated ranching outposts like Sharon and Bern. Numerous springs, from Crystal Spring to Hoopes Spring, highlight the essential water sources that have sustained these rural Idaho townships for generations.
