1965 Map of Naples

About this map

Ashley Valley defines this high-desert landscape, where the settlement of Naples sits at the intersection of local industry and agriculture. Irrigation infrastructure is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Ashley Central Canal and multiple storage features like Burns Bench Reservoir and Bullwinkle Reservoir. The map illustrates a mid-century community in transition, balancing established features like the Vernal Golf Course with technical utility sites including a Vernal Substation, a Radio Facility, and a Sewage Disposal plant. Steep terrain rises to the east and north in the Buck Skin Hills and Sunshine Bench, where a network of pipelines and a Jeep Trail navigate the more remote draws and creek beds.
