1955 Map of Mount Pisgah

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Wellsville Mountains dominate the western horizon of this mid-century survey, creating a dramatic natural wall between Cache Valley and the lands to the west. The landscape is a study in early water management and high-altitude transport, anchored by the Lower Canal and Upper Canal that feed the agricultural settlements of Wellsville and Mendon. A notable transit corridor follows the path of Highways 89 and 91 through Sardine Canyon, climbing toward Sardine Summit past the seasonal waters of Dry Lake. This route connects the high peaks, including Mount Pisgah and Black Peak, with the valley floor. Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through the Mount Sterling Cemetery or explore the drainage systems around Mantua, where the Box Elder Creek and a complex series of reservoirs illustrate the engineering required to sustain these mountain communities.
