1998 Map of Kamas

About this map

Kamas Valley serves as a vital corridor between the high peaks of the Wasatch National Forest and the fertile lowlands along the Weber River. This late-twentieth-century revision reveals a landscape defined by traditional settlement patterns and water management, centered on the towns of Kamas, Oakley, and Peoa. Local history is preserved through a series of family and community landmarks, including the Oakley Cem, Stevens Cem, and Marion Cem. The mapping highlights the critical role of irrigation and water control in this high-altitude valley, most notably through the Provo River Diversion Canal and various tributaries like Beaver Creek and Thorn Spring Creek. Education and community life are anchored at the South Summit High Sch, while small-scale industrial activity is marked by a Gravel Pit and other extractive sites near the western foothills of the Mahogany Hills.
