About this map

Deer Creek Reservoir and the Provo River corridor dominate this portion of the Heber Valley, where water management has long defined the landscape. The agricultural heritage of the region is evident in the intricate network of irrigation systems, including the Lower Charleston Canal, Upper Charleston Canal, and the Timpanogos Canal. These waterways supported the development of settlements like Charleston and the more remote Wallsburg to the south.

Local infrastructure is represented by the Heber City Airport and the Midway Fish Hatchery, while the area around Soldier Hollow reflects its recreational importance. For those researching family history, the map provides precise locations for the Charleston Cemetery and Wallsburg Cemetery, along with several named canyons such as Billy Haws Canyon and Sams Canyon that hint at early land use and settlement patterns.
