About this map

The Little Bear River and its various forks dominate this southern Cache Valley landscape, carving through a series of canyons and hollows near the settlements of Paradise and Avon. In the northern section, the Hyrum Reservoir serves as a primary geographical anchor, supported by the Hyrum Lake Campground for local recreation. The map reveals a distinct transition from the grid-iron residential streets of Paradise to the more dispersed agricultural layout near Avon to the south.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant landmarks, including the Paradise Cemetery and the Avon Cemetery, which are situated along the valley floor. The surrounding terrain is defined by dramatic named features such as McMurdie Hollow, Paradise Dry Canyon, and Green Canyon, while the confluence of the West Fork Little Bear River and East Fork Little Bear River illustrates the complex drainage patterns that historically supported the valley's settlement and irrigation.
