"Pick up any map of Utah. Straight lines drawn at right angles demarcate the state, bisecting the landscape without reference to physiographic regions, mountain ranges, lakes, or rivers. Although those lines have a history, they reflect the intent or caprice of nineteenth-century lawmakers rather than the realities of the physical or cultural landscape. Often people have moved across the landscape as if the boundaries did not exist. Mormon settlers in northern Utah’s Cache and Bear Lake Valleys did not turn back in their colonizing at the Utah Territory’s northern border, nor did they create fundamentally different settlements north of it. Franklin, Whitney, Preston, and Paris—Mormon towns north of the border—possessed similar institutions, public buildings, and layouts to their Utah counterparts south of it like Lewiston, Richmond, Smithfield, Round Valley, and Garden City."
