About this map

The Wellsville Mountains dominate the western portion of this 1991 revision, casting long shadows over the eastern Cache Valley floor where the agricultural settlements of Wellsville and Mendon sit. This survey documents a landscape defined by water management and steep transitions, from the intricate network of the Upper Canal and Lower Canal to the high-elevation Sardine Summit.

Evidence of early extraction and ranching remains visible through features like the Gold Mine near Skunk Hollow and several family-named landmarks such as Babbit Shanty Hill and Jepsen Valley. The southern boundary is anchored by the Mantua Reservoir, while the Mount Sterling Cem provides a genealogical touchstone for researchers tracing the local pioneer families of the Mount Sterling area. Within the Cache National Forest, numerous named springs, including The Pothole Spring and Leatham Springs, highlight the vital water sources sustaining this high-desert environment.
