2020 Map of Richmond

About this map

Richmond and Lewiston serve as the primary hubs in this Cache Valley landscape, where the Idaho-Utah state line divides the northern agricultural reaches from the mountainous terrain of the Cache National Forest. The geography is defined by a complex network of waterways, most notably the Cub River, which snakes through the valley floor, and the E Canal that supports the region's farming heritage. Along the eastern edge, the topography rises sharply into the Bear River Range, featuring deep drainages like Prater Hollow and Oxkiller Hollow that descend from Richmond Knoll. Local history is anchored by long-standing community landmarks, including the Lewiston City Cem and Richmond City Cem. Traces of earlier industry are evident near the foothills, such as the City Creek Mine located along City Creek, while numerous natural sources like Stewart Spring and Cherry Creek Spring highlight the essential role of water in the settlement of this high-elevation valley.
