1969 Map of Mapleton

About this map

The Cub River and Worm Creek drain the western slopes of the Bear River Range in this detailed survey of Franklin County, Idaho. High-altitude hydrology is a central theme, as the map tracks a complex network of springs and irrigation infrastructure necessary for life in the high valley, including the Middle Canal and Ditch. Small settlements like Mapleton and Cherryville anchor the flatter terrain to the west, while the eastern portion climbs into the Cache National Forest. The landscape is marked by family-named landmarks such as Chatterton Spring, Paul Jones Spring, and Baker Spring. A heavy reliance on backcountry transportation is evident from the extensive network of labels for Jeep Tr, Pack Trail, and Trail that weave through named canyons and over Morgan Ridge toward Camp Wilderness.
