1967 Map of Indianola

About this map

Indianola sits at the junction of mountain canyons and high valley meadows, marking a point of transition between the Utah County and Sanpete County line during the late 1960s. The settlement's history is anchored by the Spencer Cem and the nearby Hilltop marker, while the surrounding landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Thistle Creek and the San Pitch River. Much of the eastern and northern terrain falls within the Manti-La Sal National Forest, where steep ridges like Long Ridge and Beehive Ridge are carved by numerous forks and hollows. Resource extraction and water management are evident through features such as Crotons Mine, the Poulson Well, and a network of pipelines. Remote springs, including Mormon Spring and Quakingasp Spring, suggest the critical importance of water rights in this high-altitude environment.
