1962 Map of Delta

About this map

Delta serves as the regional hub in this 1960s survey, situated along the Union Pacific railroad and the Sevier River. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of irrigation canals and ditches that support a series of small farming communities including Sugarville, Sutherland, Abraham, Hinckley, and Deseret. This agricultural system relies heavily on the Gunnison Bend Reservoir, which manages the river's flow through the arid valley.
