  • Cache Valley
    C a c h e V a l l e y V i s i t o r s B u r e a u Cache Valley HERITAGE DRIVING TOUR CACHE VALLEY driving tour Cache Valley extends more than 50 miles into the states of Utah and Idaho. Beautifully nestled among the steep slopes of the Bear River and Wellsville mountain ranges, the valley averages 4500 feet in elevation and is four to twelve miles in width. The surrounding high mountains, clear streams and productive soil all combine to make it a valley rich in the blessings of nature. Cache Valley was the scene of many events important in the settling of the American West. It was here that mountain Indian tribes found ample hunting ground for game, that rugged mountain men splashed through streams in search of beaver, and where Mormon pioneers built new homes in the wilderness of the American frontier. For centuries before the mountain men and the Mormons came to Cache Valley, Native Americans hunted, fished and gathered seeds from the grass that was plentiful upon the valley floor. These Native Americans, the Northwestern Shoshone, named the valley Seuhubeogoi, “Willow River,” and established both winter and summer camps along the major rivers. As nomadic hunters and gatherers they followed centuries-old migratory patterns in search of food. Famous Northwestern Shoshone leaders were Sagwitch, Bear Hunter, Pocatello, Pahvants, and Sanpitch. Mountain men in search of beaver were the first white visitors to Cache Valley. During the years of the Rocky Mountain fur General Merchandise Store, built 1879 Cover photo: American West Heritage Center All photos: USU Special Collections 2 trade, the valley was a crossroad and campground for almost every mountain man who ever fought, trapped or traded in the region.

Coombs, Master of Science in Bioregional Planning Utah State University, 2017 Major Professor: Richard E. Toth Department: Environment and Society The Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands (FFSL) is responsible for the management of state-owned sovereign land in Utah, which includes the bed and banks of the Bear River in Cache and Box Elder Counties. The purpose of this project is to provide relevant background information and data to support the future development of a comprehensive management plan for the Bear River. This project develops a methodology and process to describe the Bear River Corridor, summarizes and integrates existing information regarding important biophysical and socio- cultural attributes of the river, delineates lands along the river into identified management classes, and recommends management goals and objectives to be carried forward into the future development of a comprehensive management plan. While this project is not the most comprehensive or detailed report for any individual attribute of the Bear River, it is currently the most comprehensive resource addressing sovereign lands along the Bear River.

    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR MISCELLANEOUS FIELD STUDIES UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAP MF-1566-A PAMPHLET MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF MOUNT NAOMI ROADLESS AREA, CACHE COUNTY, UTAH, AND FRANKLIN COUNTY, IDAHO By James H. Dover, U.S. Geological Survey and Philip R. Bigsby, U.S. Bureau of Mines STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the Mount Naomi Roadless Area (04758), Wasatch and Caribou National Forests, Cache County, Utah, and Franklin County, Idaho. Mount Naomi Roadless Area was classified as a further planning area during the Second Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE n)i by the U.S. Forest Service, January 1979. MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL SUMMARY STATEMENT Geological, geophysical, and geochemical investigations have been conducted to assess the mineral resource potential of the Mount Naomi Roadless Area (hereafter referred to as "study area"), northeastern Utah and southeastern Idaho.
