2014 Map of Paradise

About this map

The Little Bear River and its multiple forks define the settlement patterns of this Cache County valley, where the towns of Hyrum, Paradise, and Avon occupy a fertile corridor between the high peaks of the Wasatch Range and the Cache National Forest. In the northern reach, the Hyrum Reservoir serves as a major hydrological anchor, supported by an intricate network of irrigation features including the Hyrum Canal and O'Berry Canal. This 2014 survey reveals the proximity of these rural communities to the steep terrain of the mountains, with McMurdie Hollow, Green Canyon, and Paradise Dry Canyon cutting into the eastern uplands. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies the Paradise Cem and Avon Cem, while landmarks such as McKenzie Mtn and Fourmile Hill overlook the southern flats of McKenzie Flat.
