Why this spot
1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on On the Bear River a few miles above its delta into the Bear River Bay of Great Salt Lake
Short-lived Gentile rail-and-steamboat boomtown that shrank fast, so its 1870s-80s deposits were not heavily overbuilt; the 1884 Sanborn captures the town near its peak. Watch for the adjacent Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge boundary.
