2011 Map of Mapleton

About this map

Mapleton and Cherryville anchor this corner of Franklin County, showing a landscape defined by water management and high-altitude terrain in the early 21st century. The complex irrigation network of the Cub River Worm Creek Canal and Middle Ditch follows the Cub River valley, illustrating the vital link between mountain runoff and local agriculture. To the east, the land rises sharply toward peaks like Andrew Nyman Mountain and the secluded Gibson Lakes, with family-named landmarks such as Chatterton Spring and Baker Spring dotting the drainages. The map reveals a transition from valley floor settlements at Cherryville Flat to more foreboding canyons, notably Oxkiller Canyon and South Canyon, while features like Self Help Hollow and Indian Flat provide clear geographic reference points for the area's grazing and wilderness boundaries.
