1940 Map of Monroe

About this map

The Sevier River valley serves as the central artery for this agricultural corridor, where a complex network of canals supports a string of early Utah settlements. The map highlights the intensive irrigation required for the valley floor, specifically around Monroe and Elsinore, while the higher elevations are dominated by the Fishlake National Forest. Evidence of early 20th-century transportation is prominent, with the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad paralleling the river and connecting small hubs like Joseph and Nibley.
