About this map

Arapien Valley and the settlement of Mayfield occupy the heart of this mid-1960s survey, illustrating a landscape shaped by water management and high-country transitions. The town sits at the mouth of Twelvemile Creek, where the South Canal diverts water for agricultural use before the terrain rises sharply into the Manti-La Sal National Forest. A notable historical detail is the Old Indian Treaty Boundary that cuts east-west across the southern portion of the map, marking an earlier era of land division.

The geography is defined by deep canyons and high ridges, including Olsen Canyon, Order Canyon, and Pole Canyon. To the west, the distinctive White Hills contrast with the forested slopes of Mountain Order. Local landmarks such as Michaelson Springs and the Mayfield Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family ties to this Sanpete County community during the mid-century period.
