2020 Map of Paradise

About this map

The Little Bear River valley south of Hyrum anchors this 2020 map, where irrigation systems like the Hyrum Canal, O'Berry Canal, and Highline Canal define the agricultural landscape of southern Cache County. The community of Paradise sits at the center of this grid of canals and rural roads, while the smaller settlement of Avon lies further south near Paradise Dry Canyon. Genealogists can locate family sites through the Paradise Cem and Avon Cem, or trace early homesteading patterns across McKenzie Flat. To the east and west, the terrain rises into the Cache National Forest and the Wasatch Range, marked by numerous drainage features such as McMurdie Hollow and South Canyon. The presence of the Musselman Airstrip and proximity to Hyrum Reservoir highlight the varied modern uses of this fertile valley.
