About this map

Manti serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, situated where the Sanpete Valley meets the rising San Pitch Mountains. The town's layout is meticulously detailed, showing the Manti Temple and the County Fairgrounds, alongside essential civic structures like the High School, Courthouse, and Manti Cemetery. The landscape transitions from the residential and agricultural grid of the valley floor to the steep drainages of Maple Canyon and Dodge Canyon.

Water management and transportation infrastructure are prominent, with the San Pitch River winding through the valley and the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad passing through the heart of town. To the south, the Gunnison Reservoir and a network of canals, including the High Water Canal, illustrate the region's reliance on mountain runoff. Notable industrial features such as local Quarries and Gravel Pits are located near the mountain base, providing a look at the local economy during this era.
