About this map

Fillmore stands as a central hub in the Pavant Valley, appearing here in the early 1960s with its established grid of residential streets and civic landmarks. The map documents the city's historic legacy at the Old State Capitol and the Fairgrounds, alongside educational facilities like Millard High Sch and the Jr High Sch. To the west, the Fillmore Airport and the small settlement of Cessna indicate mid-century aviation and transit growth near the valley floor.

The eastern landscape transitions sharply from the irrigation networks of Chalk Creek into the steep terrain of the Pavant Range. Much of this territory is preserved within the Fishlake National Forest, where the map identifies recreation sites such as the Meadow Creek Campground and numerous trails. Notable for local history is the Old Indian Reservation Boundary, which cuts across the map south of the town center near the Fillmore Cem.
