2017 Map of Nephi

About this map

The municipal center of Nephi sits at the western base of the San Pitch Mountains, where the grid of city streets meets the rising elevations of the Uinta National Forest. This 2017 study illustrates the intersection of high-desert agriculture and industrial history, notably the Gypsum Mill positioned near the mouth of Salt Spring Canyon. Genealogists will find the city's burial grounds well-documented, including Vine Bluff Cem and Nephi City Cem on the northern and eastern edges of town. The landscape transitions from the flat floor of Long Valley and the Nephi Municipal Airport in the west to a complex network of canyons and peaks to the east, such as Red Canyon and Mahogany Hill. Water sources are critical in this terrain, with Salt Cr and Gardners Fork draining the highlands near Rees Flat.
