1964 Map of Riverside
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The agricultural landscape of West Valley in Box Elder County is defined by its complex irrigation network and the dual river systems of the Bear River and Malad River. In the mid-1960s, the rural community of Riverside sat at the heart of this fertile region, supported by a system of man-made waterways including the West Canal and the Corinne Canal. The Union Pacific railroad tracks bisect the valley, providing essential transport via Fielding Siding for the surrounding farming towns of Fielding and Plymouth. This topography illustrates how 20th-century water management transformed the arid Great Basin floor into a productive agricultural corridor. Notable local landmarks for genealogists include the Belmont Church and Garland Cemetery, alongside several smaller rural landmarks and gravel operations that sustained the local economy.
