About this map

Mantua sits at the heart of this mid-century survey, positioned within a high mountain valley between the Wellsville Mts and the steep slopes leading to Willard Mtn. The town’s rural character is underscored by the Cem and Picnic Grounds along Box Elder Creek, which flows through Wellsville Canyon. High-altitude land use is evident in the inclusion of several specialized retreats and camps, such as Bel Mia Girls Home, Camp Utaba, and Camp Lamondi, alongside the Willard Guard Sta within the Cache National Forest.

The landscape is marked by historic resource extraction and modern infrastructure, including several named mining claims like the American Mine, Workman Mine, and Alvarado Mine. To the west, the Brigham City Boundary edges into the canyon terrain, while technical landmarks like the Inspiration Pt Radio Relay Sta and the Brigham Canal illustrate the engineering required to manage communication and water in the Great Salt Lake watershed.
