About this map

The White River and Price River converge in this high-elevation landscape of Utah County, anchoring a terrain defined by deep canyons and prominent ridges. The small settlement of Colton sits at the junction of these waterways and a primary transportation corridor, serving as a gateway to the complex network of access roads and trails that traverse the surrounding uplands. A series of specifically named routes, including Church Property Rd, Salvation Rd, and Revelation Rd, wind through the topography, suggesting a localized naming convention distinct to this area.

Water management and natural springs are central to the region's character, evidenced by the Scofield Dam and the high-altitude Sawmill Spring. The map documents a landscape of significant vertical relief, with Wide Ridge, Joes Ridge, and Spring Canyon shaping the drainage patterns that feed into Beaver Creek and Johnston Creek. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and natural landmarks between the ridges at the start of the 2010s.
