About this map

The settlement of Samaria serves as the focal point for this survey along the border of Oneida County, Idaho, and Box Elder County, Utah. Located in the northern reaches of the Malad Valley, the community is surrounded by a complex network of hydrological features essential to the region's agricultural character, including the Samaria Lake Canal and the Malad River. The map highlights the transition from the valley floor to the prominent Samaria Mountains to the south and west.

A wealth of family-named canyons and water sources defines the landscape, such as Thomas Davis Canyon and its associated Thomas Davis Springs. The intricate topography is carved by numerous drainages including Henderson Canyon, Gardner Canyon, and North Canyon. The prevalence of named springs like Gibbs Spring and Maple Hollow Spring underscores the importance of water management in this high-elevation terrain where the Idaho-Utah state line intersects the Samaria Mountains.
