1983 Map of Levan

About this map

The settlement of Levan sits at the eastern edge of the Juab Valley, positioned where the canyon waters emerge from the towering San Pitch Mountains. This 1983 survey shows a landscape defined by the sharp transition from irrigated valley floors to the protected slopes of the Uinta National Forest. The map documents the local economy through its extractive sites, including multiple Quarries, a Quarry, and Gravel Pits located near the town and along the base of the foothills. Hydrology is a dominant feature, with numerous drainages like Chicken Creek, Pigeon Creek, and Fourmile Creek carving deep paths through the highlands. High-altitude landmarks such as Levan Peak and Horse Heaven Mountain overlook a complex system of named hollows, including Water Hollow and Trough Spring Hollow, illustrating how water sources dictated the naming and usage of this high Utah terrain.
