2005 Map of Mapleton

About this map

The Cub River Canal and Middle Ditch define the irrigation-based agriculture that sustains the valley floor between Mapleton and Cherryville. This 2005 revision highlights the complex water management system drawing from the Cub River to support small settlements along the western edge of the quadrangle. As the land rises sharply to the east, the map transitions into the high-elevation terrain of the Cache National Forest, administered locally by the Caribou National Forest. Significant topographical landmarks like Andrew Wilderness Peak and Nyman Mountain dominate the skyline, while numerous springs—such as Baker Spring and Aspen Spring—feed the drainages that descend into the lower fields. For genealogists and local historians, the Mapleton Cem and the solitary Prospect mine symbol provide tangible links to the community's early residents and historical land use at the foot of the Bear River Range.
