About this map

Mantua sits at the southern edge of this mid-century survey, tucked between the high ridges of the Wasatch Cache National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the steep, canyon-cut terrain of the Wellsville Mountains, where landmarks like Mount Pisgah and Black Peak overlook a complex network of water features. To the north, the Upper Wellsville - Mendon Canal and Lower Canal reflect the vital irrigation systems supporting agriculture in the valley below Wellsville.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named locations such as Babbit Shanty Hill, Lingleys Basin, and Cookys Spring. The map also identifies industrial and civic markers of the era, including a Gold Mine in Skunk Hollow, the Mount Sterling Cemetery, and the Hyrum Reservoir State Recreation Area at the northeastern corner. This detailed record documents the 1950s infrastructure of the Cache and Box Elder county line, from the Sardine Summit mountain pass to the local reservoirs and stock ponds.
