2017 Map of Chester

About this map

The settlement of Chester lies at the intersection of local routes in the heart of Sanpete County, illustrating the agricultural and water-management patterns of the region. The landscape is defined by the San Pitch River and a network of irrigation features such as the McKinley Strates Reservoir and Point Ditch, which support the valley's farms between the high ridges. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Manti-Lasal National Forest, where deep cuts like Pigeon Hollow and Limekiln Hollow carve through the foothills. Local genealogy is anchored by several burial sites, including the Chester Cem and the Ephraim Pioneer Cem, the latter situated near the southern edge of the map in West Ephraim. This contemporary survey also shows the transition from the irrigated flats of Sand Ridge to the steep eastern peaks near Spring City.
