Hyèvre-Magny is a French commune with a population of 71 (as at 1st January 2017) in the Doubs department in the region of Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Hyèvre-Magny is located at 280 m , six kilometers east of Baume-les-Dames and about 35 kilometers east-northeast of the city of Besançon (as the crow flies). The village extends in the Doubstal on the left southern side of the river, in the Talenge at the breakthrough of the Doubs through the Jura border chain, the extreme northwestern chain system of the Jura Mountains .
The area of the 3.41 km² large municipal area includes a section of the Doubstal. The Doubs flows here with several bends through a mostly 500 m wide flat floodplain to the west and at the same time forms the waterway of the Rhine-Rhône Canal . At Hyèvre-Magny it cuts through the anticline of the Jura ridge in a clump-like breakthrough. The valley is flanked by steep slopes that show rock walls and ledges in various places. The course of the river always forms the northern border. From here the communal soil extends to the wooded crest of the Bois de Babre ( 477 m ). To the south of the village, the municipal area extends into the valley of Villers-Saint-Martin, which connects to the Jura ridge, and up the adjacent, wooded slope of the Lomont range . Here, at 499 m, the highest point in Hyèvre-Magny is reached.
Neighboring municipalities of Hyèvre-Magny are Hyèvre-Paroisse in the north, Roche-lès-Clerval in the east, Lomont-sur-Crête and Villers-Saint-Martin in the south and Baume-les-Dames in the west.
history
In the municipality of Hyèvre-Magny there was a Gallo-Roman settlement, which could be proven on the basis of weapons and tool finds. In the Middle Ages, Hyèvre belonged to the Clerval lordship, which came under the sovereignty of the Counts of Montbéliard in the 14th century. Together with Franche-Comté, the village finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. Until the time of the French Revolution , Hyèvre-Magny and Hyèvre-Paroisse formed a single municipality. Today Hyèvre-Magny is part of the Doubs Baumois municipal association .

Some workers are also commuters who work in the surrounding larger towns.
