About this map

Salt River flows northward through a broad valley floor, anchoring the settlement patterns of Afton, Osmond, and Fairview. This modern era survey reveals a landscape where organized municipal infrastructure, such as the Afton Municipal Airport and the Lincoln County Fair Grounds, sits alongside the natural drainages of Swift Cr and Cottonwood Cr. The map captures the interface between the valley’s agricultural grid and the rising eastern terrain, which is deeply incised by canyons like Graveyard Canyon and Hale Canyon.

Genealogical interest is found in the clearly marked Afton Cem and Fairview Cem, while the inclusion of the Greys River District Ranger Office and Landmark Star Tower reflects the area's role as a gateway for forestry management and recreation near the Swift Creek Campground. The drainage network, including Mikes Hole Cr and Dry Cr, highlights the complex hydrology that historically dictated the placement of homesteads and local roads like Allred Rd and Smoot-Afton.
