About this map

Beaver serves as the focal point of this late-1950s survey, showing the town's layout during a period of steady post-war stability. The map documents the local educational infrastructure with the Beaver High Sch and Belknap Sch clearly marked, alongside the Mtn View Cemetery to the north. To the west, the smaller settlement of Greenville sits near Little Bald Hill, while Manderfield occupies the valley floor to the north along U S 91.

Resource extraction and mountain management are evident in the surrounding heights. Numerous operations like the Harris Mine, Rob Roy Mine, and Sunday Mine are scattered through the rugged terrain of the Fishlake National Forest. The presence of the Indian Creek Guard Sta and the Fish Hatchery reflects the active management of the Beaver River watershed. This topography illustrates the sharp transition from the irrigated agricultural valley floors to the mineral-rich slopes of Tanner Mtn and Johnson Peak.
