About this map

The Sanpete Valley floor serves as a agricultural and residential hub in this 2001 revision, centered on the historic town of Fairview. The landscape is defined by the San Pitch River and its numerous tributaries, including Oak Creek and Fairview Canyon Creek, which flow westward out of the Manti La Sal National Forest. To the west, the Cedar Hills rise above the valley, marked by a network of drainage systems like Josephine Hollow and Cottonwood Spring Hollow.

A notable transition in land use is visible between the structured town grid of Fairview, with its Fairview Cem and nearby Powerplant, and the smaller outlying settlements of Milburn and Hill Top. Local industrial and utility features, such as a Mine and an Aqueduct, indicate the area's reliance on both resource extraction and water management in the high desert environment. The presence of a Gaging Station and various benchmarks suggests the importance of ongoing hydrological monitoring along the river corridor.
