About this map

The Henefer valley serves as a focal point for settlement and infrastructure along the Weber River, where the Union Pacific railroad and early pipelines parallel the water’s course. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape of industrial and commemorative importance, featuring a Pumping Station, a Claypit, and a local Cemetery. Cultural markers like the Pioneer Monument signify the area's heritage, while the settlement of China Town is situated in the high ridges of the northeast corner.

Beyond the valley floor, the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and canyons, including Black Hawk Canyon, Bald Rock Canyon, and Wolf Den Canyon. Numerous springs are scattered throughout the highlands, feeding the many forks of the watershed such as the Red Fork and Sawmill Canyon. The boundary between Morgan and Summit Counties traverses the central uplands, where primitive transportation routes like the Jeep Trail provide access to the remote hollows.
