About this map

Rhodes Valley serves as a central geographic anchor for this late-1960s survey, where the settlement of Francis sits at the base of The West Hills. The landscape is defined by the vital movement of water, tracing the winding Provo River and the Provo Canal, which are supported by infrastructure such as a Gaging Station and a Water Tank. To the south, the terrain transitions into the upper reaches of Heber Valley, marked by numerous drainage features including Little Pole Canyon and Webb Hollow.

Resource extraction and agriculture appear as primary activities, indicated by a Mine, a Quarry, and a Gravel Pit near the river. For those researching family history or land use, the map identifies specific points of local significance such as a Cemetery and multiple Corral sites. These features, connected by a network of roads and a Jeep Trail, reveal the mid-century character of this high-valley interface where the Summit County and Wasatch County lines meet.
