1983 Map of Fountain Green South

About this map

The Sanpete Valley floor meets the high-elevation terrain of the Pitch Mountains in this early 1980s topographical study. Small agricultural settlements like Fountain Green and Freedom anchor the eastern plains, while the western landscape is dominated by the dense canyon networks of the Manti-La Sal National Forest and Uinta National Forest. The transition from valley to mountain is marked by a series of flats and ridges, including Dandelion Flat and Tidds Ridge, which overlook the complex drainage of Birch Creek and Fourmile Creek. Genealogists will find the quiet community of Jerusalem and a local Cemetery east of Freedom, providing a clear view of the rural homesteading patterns in this part of Utah. The terrain is characterized by steep descents through Maple Canyon and Box Canyon, leading down to the Devils Gate Basin and the open flats that define the Sanpete County agriculture of the era.
