About this map

Mayfield sits at the edge of the Arapien Valley, serving as a gateway between the agricultural lowlands and the high timber of the Manti-La Sal National Forest. This 1965 survey documents a landscape where water management and historical boundaries intersect, evidenced by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary running between Sanpete and Sevier Counties. The topography is defined by the drainage of Twelvemile Creek and the stark geological transition to the White Hills in the west.

Local infrastructure is represented by the Mayfield Cem and a Gaging Station on the creek, while the southern portion of the sheet reaches into the Fishlake National Forest. Remote access is indicated by a network of Jeep Trails and a Pack Trail winding through Order Canyon and toward Order Mountain. The presence of the Willow Creek Reservoir in the southwest corner highlights the importance of seasonal water storage for the valley's settlement.
