2020 Map of Fountain Green South

About this map

The eastern slopes of the San Pitch Mountains descend into the fertile Sanpete Valley on this modern survey of the region south of Fountain Green. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the protected woodlands of the Uinta National Forest to the agricultural grid of the valley floor. Small rural settlements like Freedom and Jerusalem are situated along the valley margin, where canyons such as Maple Canyon and Box Canyon emerge from the high ridges. This map traces a complex network of seasonal water sources and springs, including Minnie Spring and Joe Spring, which have historically sustained ranching in the North Flat and South Flat areas. Evidence of local history is found in the location of the Freedom Cem and the naming of remote landmarks like Devils Gate and Death Hollow.
