About this map

Ephraim serves as the focal point of this Sanpete County survey, illustrating a high-desert landscape where agricultural grids meet the steep ascent of the Wasatch Plateau. The map captures the campus of Snow Coll and the municipal layout of West Ephraim as they appeared in 2014-2016. The transition from the valley floor to the Manti-La Sal National Forest is marked by significant topographical shifts, including landmarks like Witches Knoll and Bald Mtn.

Water management is central to this region's character, evidenced by the numerous reservoirs and springs tucked into the canyons to the east, such as Petes Reservoir and Yearns Reservoir. In the rugged eastern terrain, the map details the complex drainage systems of Ephraim Cr and Willow Cr, which flow through deep incisions like Ephraim Canyon and New Canyon. These features represent the critical interface between the settled valley and the high-elevation resources of the Manti Ridge.
