1983 Map of Fountain Green South

About this map

Fountain Green and the southern reaches of the Sanpete Valley are defined here by a sharp transition from irrigated agricultural plains to the high, broken plateaus of the Uinta National Forest. The landscape is a network of named springs and canyons, such as Moroni Pole Canyon and Box Canyon, which drain the eastern slopes into the valley below. Notable for genealogists and local historians, this 1983 record details the small rural settlements of Freedom and Jerusalem, including the local Cemetery north of Freedom and various water sources like the Larch Christensen Spring. The western portion of the map is dominated by the complex topography of the Manti-La Sal National Forest, featuring landmarks such as Devils Gate and Marble Hill. This document captures the distribution of water rights and grazing lands through numerous labels for springs and flats, illustrating the vital role of mountain runoff to the valley communities.
