About this map

The settlement of Indianola sits at the junction of agricultural valley land and the steep rises of the Manti National Forest in this late 1960s survey. Located near the border of Utah and Sanpete Counties, the landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Thistle Creek and the San Pitch River. Local history is preserved at the Spencer Cem and through remnants of early industry such as the Crayons Mine in Hjorth Canyon.

Evidence of resource management and early infrastructure appears throughout the terrain, including a pipeline traversing Long Ridge and various water sources like Quakingasp Spring and Tidwell Spring. The map documents the intricate network of canyons and ridges, including Poison Ridge and San Pitch Canyon, that dictated the movement of livestock and people through this high-country transition zone.
