1991 Map of Mantua

About this map

Mantua sits at the northern end of this survey, bordered by the Mantua Reservoir and a local Fish Hatchery. The landscape is dominated by the high ridgelines of the Cache National Forest, where steep canyons such as Box Elder Canyon and Willard Canyon cut through the mountains. Industry and recreation intersect here, as evidenced by several prospect sites and established mines like the Silver Eagle Mine and Eldorado Mine. In the southern reaches, the North Fork Ogden River flows through a series of canyons, providing a location for social and youth centers including Camp Utaba, Camp Lemon, and the Bel Mia Girls Home. The transition from the high peaks of Willard Mountain and Inspiration Pt down into the narrow valleys like Devils Gate Valley shows the complex geography of the Wasatch Range as it was documented in the early 1990s.
