About this map

Fountain Green and the small agricultural settlements of Jerusalem and Freedom anchor the eastern edge of this landscape, where the flatlands of the Sanpete Valley meet the rising slopes of the Wasatch Range. The map reveals a transition from organized town grids, like those along W 300 S St, to the complex canyon systems of the Uinta National Forest to the west. This rugged backcountry is defined by the San Pitch Mountains and a network of named drainages including Right Fork Maple Canyon and Left Fork Fourmile Creek.

Evidence of historical land use is etched into the terrain through a series of backcountry routes such as the Right Fork Trail, Quaking Aspen Creek Trail, and the Marble Hill-Reddicks Trail. These paths connect disparate points of interest like Marble Hill, Dandelion Flat, and the Freedom Cemetery, illustrating how early residents navigated the steep ridges and hidden basins of the Sanpete and Juab borderlands.
