2017 Map of Pegram

About this map

Bear River dominates the landscape of southeast Idaho, winding through a complex system of irrigation infrastructure designed to support high-altitude agriculture. The western edge of the Preuss Range provides a dramatic backdrop to the small settlements of Pegram, Harer, and Alton. This area showcases a sophisticated network of water management, evidenced by the Montpelier-Preston Canal, Black Otter Canal, and Ream Crockett Canal, which divert water across the valley floor. These canals, alongside the Peg Leg Ditch and Nuffer Canal, illustrate the critical importance of water rights and engineering in the development of Bear Lake County. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks such as Dairy Ridge, Harer Point, and Pine Spring Ridge, while the lowlands features marshy basins and the Sheep Cr Reservoir.
