About this map

Meadowville serves as the quiet center of this high-elevation landscape in Rich Co and Cache Co, Utah. The small settlement is situated at the edge of the Meadowville Valley, characterized by its proximity to the Cache National Forest boundary. The topography is defined by complex drainage systems and steep ridgelines, such as Log Cabin Ridge, which separates Log Cabin Hollow from the deep folds of the forest. Numerous springs, including Government Spring, Suck Spring, and Nebeker Spring, dot the canyons, reflecting a landscape where water sources were critical for ranching and local survival.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Meadowville Cem and trace the family names associated with local landmarks like Kearl Reservoir and Kearl Pond. The map also documents a network of primitive transportation routes, including several labeled Jeep Trail paths that navigate through Temple Canyon and Edgar Canyon, providing evidence of mid-century access to the more remote sections of the Wasatch Range.
