About this map

Cache Valley agriculture and water management define this portion of northern Utah, where the Little Bear River flows through the settlements of Paradise and Avon. The landscape is shaped by an intricate network of irrigation and infrastructure, including the Highline Canal, the Hyrum Canal, and various aqueducts that divert water from the surrounding mountains to the valley floor. To the northwest, Hyrum Reservoir serves as a focal point for the region, bordered by Hyrum State Park.

The eastern half of the map rises into the Cache National Forest, featuring deeply carved terrain such as Blacksmith Fork Canyon and Paradise Dry Canyon. These canyons and high points like McKenzie Mountain contrast with the organized grid of Paradise. Researchers will find interest in localized features like the village cemetery, an abandoned canal near McKenzie Flat, and several mines tucked into the hillsides.
