The River, The Residents, And The City: A Holistic Vision Study For Logan River's Upper Reach, Lisa Aedo
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
The three-mile Upper Reach of the Logan River starting at the USU Water Lab to the 100 East bridge has been negatively impacted by residential development and diversion for agriculture and industry.

It represents the first systematic study of the establishment, settlement, and survival of this neighborhood, set on a windswept hillside on the northerly edge of the colonial city, and …
