1969 Map of Loa

About this map

Loa serves as the focal point of this high-plateau landscape, situated within the fertile stretch of Rabbit Valley. The settlement pattern follows a traditional grid, surrounded by evidence of early infrastructure including a Radio Facility, Rodeo Grounds, and the Loa Cem. To the north, the terrain rises into the Fishlake National Forest, where features like The Ledges and the Awapa Plateau define the geography. This 1960s survey documents a vital water network essential for high-altitude agriculture and conservation, showcasing the Fremont River and its various tributaries. The presence of a Fish Hatchery near Spring Creek and the numerous springs, such as Riley Canyon Spring and Bullberry Spring, highlights the community's reliance on these upland water sources. Local history is further preserved through landmarks like Allred Point and the Fremont Cem, while the extensive system of jeep trails through Rock Hollow and Sheep Hollow indicates the historical access routes into the surrounding backcountry.
