2017 Map of Thatcher Mountain

About this map

Thatcher Mountain and the Blue Spring Hills anchor the western reaches of this Box Elder County terrain, giving way to an organized grid of agricultural development and water management to the east. The communities of Bothwell, Thatcher, and Penrose are situated along this transition, connected by a network of rural roads such as W 12000 N and W 8000 N. The importance of irrigation in this arid landscape is evident through the prominent Highline Canal and West Canal systems that weave through the valley floor. Genealogists will find several burial sites including Bothwell Cem, Valleyview Cem, and Penrose Cem, providing a clear record of local settlement patterns. To the south, the map reaches toward Peterson Pond and Little Mtn, illustrating the varied topography from peak to basin.
