2013 Map of Paris

About this map

Paris and Bloomington serve as the primary anchors of this Bear Valley landscape, situated where the western mountain canyons meet the agricultural flats. The transition from the high ridges of the Cache National Forest to the valley floor is defined by a series of dramatic drainages, including Sleight Canyon, Paris Canyon, and Little Canyon. The 2013 survey illustrates the importance of water management in this high-altitude valley, tracing the routes of Paris Creek, Bloomington Creek, and Worm Creek as they flow eastward from the mountains toward the lowland bottoms. A network of secondary roads, such as Paris Cemetery Rd and Bloomington Bottoms Rd, connects the tight-knit residential grids of the towns to the surrounding rangeland and forest. The presence of Paris Spring and Crib Spring highlights the vital natural water sources that have supported this community for generations.
