2020 Map of Chester

About this map

The agricultural corridor of the Sanpete Valley is centered between the towns of Chester and Ephraim in this detailed survey. The landscape is defined by its water management and early settlement history, featuring the San Pitch River and a network of irrigation systems including Point Ditch and Canal Creek. In the southeast, the terrain rises into the Manti-La Sal National Forest, where the higher elevations of White Hill and Black Hill overlook the agricultural flats below. Genealogists will find several notable burial grounds, including the Ephraim Pioneer Cemetery and the Chester Cemetery. The map also reveals the distinct neighborhood of West Ephraim and the rural surroundings of Spring City, showing a community still largely defined by its relationship to the surrounding basins like Cane Valley and the prominent Sand Ridge.
