1969 Map of Mapleton

About this map

The Bear River Range dominates this late-1960s landscape along the Idaho-Utah border, where the high country of the Cache National Forest meets the small settlements of Franklin County. Mapleton and Cherryville sit on the western edge of the mountains, overlooking the agricultural transition marked by a canal and ditch network near Worm Creek. The terrain is defined by its water sources, many bearing family names that provide significant value for local genealogy, such as Paul Jones Spring, Chatterton Spring, and Baker Spring.
