1967 Map of Mount Pleasant

About this map

Mount Pleasant serves as the central hub of this Sanpete Valley study, shown during a period of urban expansion reflected in purple revision tints. The town's grid is anchored by the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad, which runs north through the valley toward Fairview. The landscape is defined by the transition from the irrigated fields of the valley floor, fed by the Mount Pleasant Canal and Moroni Canal, to the rising elevations of the Cedar Hills and the Round Hills. Rural landmarks like the Drive-in Theater on the north edge of town and the Mount Pleasant Airport to the southwest illustrate the community's mid-century development. In the southern reaches, the curious label Last Chance sits along Cedar Creek, while numerous Gravel Pits and a Radio Facility dot the periphery of the residential center.
