About this map

Wellsville Mountains and the western edge of Cache Valley define the landscape of this 1962 topographic study. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the extensive irrigation network, including the Wellsville Mendon Upper Canal and the Wellsville Mendon Lower Canal, which draw from the Little Bear River to support the valley floor. To the east, the Union Pacific railroad corridor links the settlements of Mendon and Wellsville, passing through Greens Corner as it traverses the fertile plains.

The western portion of the map is dominated by the steep, canyon-scored slopes of the Cache National Forest. Named landmarks like Deep Canyon and Shumway Canyon descend toward the valley, where the town of Wellsville is shown with its local grid, Cem, and Wellsville Res. Further north, the confluence of the Logan River and its various sloughs creates a complex wetland environment near Pelican Pond.
