1955 Map of Mount Pisgah

About this map

Mount Pisgah dominates this mid-century survey of the divide between Cache and Box Elder counties. The landscape is defined by the steep transitions of the Cache National Forest, where high-altitude features like Black Peak and the Sardine Summit overlook a complex network of water management systems. Civil engineering is evident in the Upper Canal and Lower Canal servicing the northern valley near Wellsville, while an Aqueduct and multiple reservoirs trace the contours of the southern slopes near Mantua. Local life is anchored at the Mount Sterling Cemetery and the small settlement of Mount Sterling. The mapping of numerous springs, such as Leatham Springs and McBride Spring, along with named drainages like Silver Mine Hollow and Rattlesnake Canyon, highlights the critical importance of water resources in this mountainous Utah terrain.
