About this map

Heber City serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, surrounded by the agricultural and mining landscapes of the Heber Valley. The map documents a critical era of water management and industrial transition, featuring the Provo River and an extensive irrigation network including the Timpanogos Canal and Sagebrush Creek. To the west, the historic settlement of Midway is clearly defined, while the former location of Mound City reflects the changing footprint of local habitation.

The northern reaches of the quadrangle are dominated by the legacy of the Park City mining district, where complex subterranean infrastructure like the Ontario Drain Tunnel and Star Tunnel underscore the region's mineral wealth. Family and mining history intersect at sites like the Glencoe Mine, Valeo Mine, and the Cranmer Mayflower Mine. Educational and civic life are anchored in Heber City by Wasatch High School and the Fairgrounds, while the presence of the D & R G W Railroad highlights the transportation corridor that once fueled the valley's economy.
