About this map

The agricultural and industrial character of the northern Cache Valley is clearly visible in this mid-1960s study, where the Union Pacific railroad and a prominent Sugar Refinery north of Richmond highlight the local sugar beet economy. The landscape is defined by its water management, featuring a network of irrigation ditches like the High Creek Ditch and an Aqueduct that serve the fertile lands between the Bear River and the steep slopes of the Cache National Forest.

Detailed street grids for Lewiston and Richmond show local civic landmarks, including North Cache Jr HS and several storage bins near the rail lines. Geographers and historians can trace the meandering path of the Cub River as it winds across the valley floor, alongside natural features like Stewart Spring and Robinson Spr. The map also captures the interstate boundary between Idaho and Utah, showing the rural transition near the small settlement of Cove.
