2013 Map of Riverdale

About this map

The Riverdale settlement serves as the central hub for this corner of Franklin County, where the Bear River carves through the landscape at Oneida Narrows. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems and water management projects essential to the local valley economy. Numerous water bodies, including Strongarm Reservoir Number One, Condie Reservoir, and Winder Reservoir, are connected by a web of man-made waterways such as the Twin Lakes Canal, Preston Riverdale Canal, and W Cache Canal. These features reveal how the natural flow of the river has been harnessed and diverted through the decades. Near the Falls, the river's descent is countered by the steady rise of surrounding ridges, while smaller tributaries like Battle Cr and Mink Cr feed into the primary drainage. South of the main village, the Glendale Reservoir and its Glendale Reservoir Access Area mark a significant landmark for modern recreation and water storage.
