1912 Map of Randolph

About this map

Bear Lake anchors the northern portion of this landscape, its southern shoreline meeting Round Valley and the small settlement of Laketown. This early 20th-century survey documents the rural character of Rich County, Utah, where life was organized around the meandering course of the Bear River and its various tributaries like Otter Creek. The map records several established ranching outposts including Rex Ranch, Kennedy Ranch, and Enberg Ranch, which punctuate the valley floor between the Crawford Mountains and the high ridges of the Cache National Forest. In the southwest, the town of Woodruff serves as a hub near Big Creek, while Randolph sits centrally along the river flats. The presence of numerous springs like Canteen Spring and Sucker Spring highlights the importance of water sources in this high-altitude cattle country, providing a clear look at the early infrastructure of these mountain communities.
