About this map

Richmond and Lewiston anchor this Cache Valley landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the rising slopes of the Cache National Forest. The Cub River and Bear River meander through the western lowlands, fed by numerous mountain drainages like Cherry Cr and High Cr. The map captures the interface between the valley's irrigation infrastructure, including the East Canal, and the natural springs that dot the eastern foothills, such as Ballantine Spring and Stewart Spring.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Richmond City Cem and Lewiston City Cem clearly marked, along with the transition into more isolated areas like Cove. The northern boundary tracks the state line between Utah and Idaho, while landmarks like Richmond Knoll and the curiously named Oxkiller Hollow define the upland topography. The layout of the small settlements and their proximity to Rocky Ridge Reservoir illustrate a community deeply connected to its water resources.
