About this map

The meandering Bear River dominates this mid-1960s survey of the Cache Valley, where its serpentine path cuts through the heart of northern Utah and southern Idaho. To the south, water management is anchored by the Newton Reservoir and the precise engineering of the Newton Dam Spillway Elev 4769. This landscape is a patchwork of small agricultural centers and rail infrastructure, defined by the Union Pacific line and its Cache Valley Branch which connect the communities of Trenton, Cornish, and Amalga.

Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of the Trenton Cem and Cornish Cem, while the inclusion of irrigation features like the Aqueduct and Siphon systems highlights the region's reliance on managed water. The eastern terrain transitions into the marshy expanse of The Barrens, while prominent elevations like Little Mtn and Pete McCombs Hill provide clear topographical landmarks across the valley floor.
