About this map

Heber Valley serves as the focal point of this survey, anchored by the administrative center at the Wasatch County Court House in Heber City. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and water management, featuring several prominent canals including the Lower Charleston Canal, Upper Charleston Canal, and the Timpanogos Canal which trace the contours of the valley floor. To the west, the expansive Deer Creek Reservoir meets the rising terrain of the Wasatch Range, while the southern reaches descend into Round Valley and the community of Wallsburg.

The map details the transition from the municipal layout of Midway and Heber City to the more dispersed agricultural settlements of Charleston and Daniel. Genealogists and local historians can locate several key landmarks, including the Charleston Cem and Wallsburg Cem. The southern portion of the sheet is largely occupied by the protected lands of the Uinta National Forest, which includes numerous named geographical features like Big Hollow, Billy Haws Canyon, and Wallsburg Ridge.
