2020 Map of Helper

About this map

Helper serves as the focal point for this industrial corridor in Carbon County, where the Price River carves through the formidable Book Cliffs. The geography is defined by a dense concentration of cemeteries, including Castle Gate Cem, Mountain View Cem, and the Central Cem / Slovenian Cem, reflecting the area's deep coal mining and immigrant heritage. Small settlements like Kenilworth, Spring Glen, and Carbonville are threaded together by a complex network of transportation and irrigation, including the Spring Glen Canal Rd and the Price Canal. The map reveals the intricate intersection of rail history and modern infrastructure, with labels such as Old Kenilworth RR and the Kenilworth RR Grade tracing former industrial pathways. From the depths of Price Canyon to the heights of the Book Cliffs, the landscape remains a testament to the heavy industry and community life centered around the river and rails.
