J. PLUHOWSKI ABSTRACT The report area comprises 485 square miles in the Basin and Range physio­ graphic province. It includes most of eastern' Oneida County and parts of Frank­ lin, Bannock, and Power Counties of southeastern Idaho. Relief is about 5,000 feet; the floor of the Malad Valley is at an average altitude of about 4,400 feet. Agriculture is, by far, the principal economic activity. In 1960 the population of the upper Malad River basin was about 3,600, of which about 60 percent resided in Malad City, the county seat of Oneida County. The climate is semiarid throughout the Malad Valley and its principal tributary valleys; above 6,500 feet the climate is subhumid. Annual precipitation ranges from aibout 13 inches in the lower Malad Valley to more than 30 inches on the highest peaks of the Bannock and Malad ranges. Owing to the normally clear atmospheric conditions, large daily and seasonal temperature fluctuations are common. Topography, distance from the Pacific Ocean, and the general atmos­ pheric circulation are the principal factors governing the climate of the Malad River basin. The westerlies transport moisture from the Pacific Ocean toward southeastern Idaho. The north-south trending mountains flanking the barm are oriented orthogonally to the moisture flux so that they are very effective in removing precipitable water from the air. A minimum uplift of 6,000 feet is required to transport moisture from the Pacific source region; accordingly, most air masses are desiccated long before they reach the Malad basin. Heaviest pre­ cipitation is generally associated with steep pressure gradients in th^ mid- troposphere that are so oriented as to cause a deep landward penetration of moisture from the Pacific Ocean. Annual water yields in the project area range from about 0.8 inch in the lower Malad

Northern Utah was in many ways a Crossroads long before the emigrants, settlers, railroad and military came here. As early as pre-Fremont Native Americans, we find evidence of trails and trade routes across this geographic area. The trappers and traders, both English and American, knew the area and crisscrossed it following many of the Native American trails. They also established new routes. Explorers sought additional routes to avoid natural barriers such as the mountains and the Great Salt Lake. As emigrants and settlers traveled west, knowledge of the area spread. The Crossroads designation was permanently established once the Railroad spanned the nation.

  • 1 Bear River Basin: Lower Bear-Malad Watershed Watershed Description the Lower Bear-Malad Watershed of the Bear River Basin
    Bear River Watershed Fact Sheets- Lower 1 Metric Units Revision 7/11/07 Bear River Basin: Lower Bear-Malad Watershed Watershed Description The Lower Bear-Malad Watershed of the Bear River Basin has a drainage area of 3,200 km2. The large drainage of the Malad River encompasses the entire western edge of the Bear River drainage and accounts for nearly 90 percent of this entire watershed. This watershed also captures water from lands draining to the Bear River from below Cutler Reservoir. As the river leaves Cutler Reservoir, it travels southwest through a small, narrow canyon at the northern end of the Wellsville Mountains into the Great Salt Cutler Dam Outflow-Nancy Mesner, USU Lake valley. The Bear River travels 105 kilometers from Cutler Reservoir to its final destination, the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge and Willard Bay, which ultimately drain into the Great Salt Lake. The highest point in the watershed is Box Elder Peak (2,900 meters) in the Wellsville Mountains. The lowest point is the Great Salt Lake (1280 meters). Tributaries and Reservoirs The Malad River is the only major tributary to the Bear River in this watershed. It enters about 20 miles above the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. The Malad originates as the Little Malad River high in the Caribou National Forest in Idaho. As it travels towards the Bear River, it gathers waters from Deep Creek and Devil Creek, which enter the Malad River near Malad City, Idaho. A smaller tributary, Sulphur Creek, originates just north of the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge and flows into the Malad River near Bear River City.

Idaho Soil and Water Conservation Districts are political subdivisions of State government, but are not State agencies. Conservation Districts are charged with carrying out a program for the conservation use and development of soil, water, and other natural resources. Conservation Districts are the primary entities to provide assistance to private landowners and land users in the conservation, sustainment, improvement and enhancement of Idaho’s natural resources. They are catalysts for coordinating and implementing conservation programs, channeling expertise from all levels of government into action at the local level. Programs are non-regulatory, providing science-based technical assistance, incentive-based financial programs, and informational and educational programs at the local level. Both by legislation and by agreement, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service provides technical assistance to landowners and land users through Conservation Districts. Each Conservation District in Idaho has a signed Mutual Agreement with the Secretary of Agricultural and the Governor of Idaho that establishes a framework for cooperation. This Five-Year Plan / Annual Plan was developed not only to guide the Conservation District, but also to encourage cooperation among landowners, government agencies, private organizations, and elected officials. Through knowledge and cooperation, all concerned can ensure a sustainable natural resource base for present and future generations in the Oneida Soil and Water Conservation District.
