2014 Map of Whistler Canal

About this map

Bear River dominates the northern landscape of this region in Box Elder County, as it winds through a complex network of bays and overflows before reaching the expansive waters of Willard Bay. The geography is defined by a delicate balance of land and water, featuring named points such as Fish Fossil Rocks, Pintail Neck, and The Knoll. The extensive irrigation and drainage infrastructure, including the Whistler Canal, East Lateral, and West Lateral, illustrates the mid-century management of this marshy terrain. Local landmarks like Whistlers Bend and Goose Island provide specific reference points for researchers studying the historical hydrology and land use along the Bird Refuge Rd corridor, where the river meets the Willard Bay Reservoir.
