2017 Map of Limekiln Knoll

About this map

Portage sits at the edge of the high mountain terrain in Box Elder County, serving as the primary settlement on this northern Utah landscape. The topography is defined by the West Hills and a series of dramatic drainages including Middle Canyon, Portage Canyon, and Broad Canyon. Significant landmarks such as Lemon Peak and Limekiln Knoll overlook the township, while more secluded areas like Whites Valley and Ruff Canyon suggest a history of high-altitude ranching or resource extraction. The map preserves local markers of community and passage, from the Portage Cem on the edge of town to the winding routes of Middle Canyon Rd and Johnson Canyon Rd that push into the steeper elevations. This survey captures a moment in the modern era where traditional land divisions meet the enduring natural boundaries of these canyon systems.
