About this map

The Bear River meanders through the heart of Mound Valley and Gentile Valley in this detailed 2013 survey of southeastern Idaho. Agricultural life in this region is defined by a complex network of irrigation, including the Gentile Valley Canal and Bench Canal, which draw from the river to support the surrounding fields. The settlement of Thatcher sits near the riverbanks, while the community of Lago is located further north near the Lago Cem.

Rising to the east, the Cache National Forest covers a terrain of deep canyons and named springs, such as Mickelson Spring and Bitton Spring. Local industry and land management are represented by the Grace Fish Hatchery in the north and the distinct topographic features of Gem Valley. The map also traces the county line where Caribou County meets Franklin County, offering a precise record of property and political boundaries within this rural landscape.
