About this map

The Malad River and Bear River converge in this fertile valley of northern Utah, where irrigation and agriculture have long shaped the landscape. In the early 1960s, Tremonton served as a central hub, flanked by smaller communities like Garland, Bothwell, and Elwood. The infrastructure of the era is clearly visible, from the Tremonton Municipal Airport and a Drive-in Theater to the Union Pacific railroad lines that facilitated regional trade.

The presence of the Salt Creek Waterfowl Management Area to the southwest highlights the importance of the local marshlands, while the Point Lookout Mountains rise sharply to the northwest. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific community landmarks such as the Bear River High Sch, Riverview Cem, and Elwood Sch, providing a precise record of the district's civic and social geography before late-century expansion.
