About this map

The Manti Temple stands as a prominent landmark on this 1960s survey of the Sanpete Valley, overlooking a landscape defined by Mormon settlement patterns and irrigation engineering. The city of Manti is mapped in detail, showing civic infrastructure such as the Courthouse, Po, and the County Fairgrounds. The town's grid is bounded by City Creek and South Creek, with several Quarries located just outside the residential core.

Agricultural development in the valley relies heavily on water management, evidenced by the High Water Canal, an Aqueduct, and the southern expanse of the Gunnison Reservoir. The Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad line runs through the valley, while the Old Railroad Grade indicates earlier transportation routes. To the west, the steep terrain of the San Pitch Mountains is incised by Maple Canyon and Dodge Canyon, providing a sharp contrast to the irrigated fields of the valley floor.
