About this map

Wellsville and Mendon anchor the western edge of Cache Valley in this survey of northern Utah. The landscape is defined by the steep rise of the Wellsville Mountains, which transition abruptly from the valley floor into the Cache National Forest and Wellsville Mountain Wilderness. This elevation shift creates numerous drainages like Gibson Canyon and Brushy Canyon that feed the agricultural lands below.

A complex irrigation network, including the Wellsville-Mendon Lower Canal and Blacksmith Fork Hyrum Canal, illustrates the region's managed water systems. The Little Bear River meanders through the central basin, creating wetland areas near The Island and Pelican Pond. In addition to the larger hubs of Logan and Hyrum, the map details smaller rural communities such as College Ward, Benson, and Greens Corner, providing a modern look at these long-established agricultural settlements.
