1951 Map of Moroni

About this map

Agricultural settlements of the Sanpete Valley characterize this mid-century survey, where the San Pitch River and a network of irrigation works like the Moroni Canal and Rock Dam Canal sustain the high-desert landscape. The grid patterns of Moroni and Fountain Green stand as principal hubs, connected by the rail-straight path of the local highway through the valley floor. To the west, the terrain rises sharply into the Wasatch Range, part of the Uinta National Forest, where landmarks such as Tidds Ridge and Bradley Canyon overlook the smaller settlements of Freedom and Jerusalem. Local infrastructure of the era is remarkably detailed, including the Fish Hatchery near Fountain Green, the Moroni Ranger Sta, and several local Cemeteries. High-altitude routes like Skyline Drive trace the ridge lines, providing a perspective of the complex drainage systems that feed into Wales Reservoir.
