1989 Map of Tremonton

About this map

The Golden Spike National Historic Site stands as a focal point of this Northern Utah landscape, marking the monumental meeting of the rails where Lampo Junction and the Union Pacific Railroad traverse the desert terrain. To the east, the agricultural corridor of the Bear River valley is densely settled with communities like Tremonton, Garland, and Brigham City. The map captures the complex irrigation and water management systems essential to this region, featuring the Hammond Canal and West Side Canal alongside the massive Cutler Reservoir. In the south, the transition from the Wellsville Mountains to the expansive wetlands of the Bear River National Migratory Bird Refuge and Spring Bay on the Great Salt Lake illustrates the diverse ecology of the Basin and Range province. Settlements such as Washakie and Honeyville offer valuable data points for those researching local history and family lineages.
