About this map

The Bear River Valley floor dominates this part of Box Elder County, where agricultural life is dictated by the winding Malad River and the engineering of the West Canal. Small agricultural settlements like Fielding and Riverside sit along the primary north-south corridors, their proximity to the water source underscoring the irrigation-dependent nature of local farming. The valley is flanked to the west by the West Hills, where the terrain rises sharply into drainage features like Toponce Canyon and Magpie Canyon.

Transportation and infrastructure are key themes, with the Fielding Siding marking a point of rail activity and a network of named section roads such as 20000 N Rd and N 6000 W gridding the landscape. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites across the quadrangle, including the Fielding City Cemetery, Riverside Cemetery, and Garland Cemetery, which serve as permanent markers for the families who settled this fertile stretch of northern Utah.
