About this map

The Malad River corridor defines the eastern portion of this Box Elder County landscape, where agricultural settlements like Plymouth and Fielding established themselves along the water. The intricate network of irrigation is visible through the West Canal, which skirts the base of the dramatic West Hills. This western upland is deeply incised by numerous drainages, including Marlow Canyon, Butler Canyon, and Toponce Canyon, illustrating the sharp transition from irrigated valley floors to high desert ridges.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several community landmarks, notably Uddy Hot Springs near the river and a trio of burial grounds serving the nearby towns: Fielding Cem, Riverside Cem, and Garland Cem. The grid of rural roads, such as Main St and N East Garland Rd, reflects the systematic land organization common to the region, providing a detailed view of the settlement patterns between the canyons and the river.
