About this map

Randolph serves as the focal point of this Rich County landscape during the late 1960s, situated at the junction of organized street grids and the winding course of the Bear River. The map reveals a community defined by its water management and civic infrastructure, from the Randolph Ranger Sta and South Rich High Sch to the expansive Sage Creek Canal and Woodruff Extension Canal systems that dominate the eastern plains.

Agricultural and social life are clearly marked through features like the Rodeo Ground and the Randolph Camp Historical Mon. To the west, the terrain rises into the Big Mountains, dotted with numerous named water sources such as Little Creek Reservoir, Crystal Spring, and Jacobsen Springs. The transition from the high-desert mountain canyons like Dry Canyon to the irrigated valley floor illustrates the vital role of water rights and ranching geography in this part of northern Utah.
