1967 Map of Kamas

About this map

Rhodes Valley serves as a prominent geographic corridor on this late 1960s survey, connecting the settlements of Peoa, Oakley, Marion, and Kamas. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic engineering of the era, notably the Provo River Diversion Canal which cuts across the valley floor to manage water between the Weber River and Beaver Creek systems. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich, identifying several local burial sites including Peoa Cem, Oakley Cem, Stevens Cem, and Marion Cem. Education and infrastructure are represented by the South Summit HS and a gaging station on the river, while the eastern edge is framed by the Wasatch Nat For. The survey also documents the rugged topography of the West Hills, etched by numerous hollows like Jensen Hollow and Indian Hollow, illustrating the sharp transition from agricultural valley to mountain terrain.
