About this map

Bear River winds through this section of Franklin County, carving a path through the valley just east of the prominent Thatcher Hill. The landscape is defined by its sophisticated irrigation network, most notably the Gentile Valley Canal, which skirts the base of the hills to support the agricultural vitality of Gem Valley. This 2010 survey illustrates a rural corridor where water management and topography dictate the layout of local infrastructure and land use.

Local history is anchored by the Thatcher Cemetery, situated near the junction of Thatcher Cemetary Rd and Young Rd. Numerous tributaries, including Densmore Creek, Smith Creek, and Alder Creek, drain into the main river channel from the surrounding highlands. The map provides a clear record of family-named routes such as Smiths Rd, Sant Rd, and Rasmussen Ln, which connect the scattered farmsteads and ranches of this Idaho valley.
