1961 Map of Porterville

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Porterville sits at the confluence of several mountain drainages in this early 1960s topographic study of Morgan County. The settlement’s geographic center is marked by the Porterville Cem and the Richville Diversion Dam, which manages the waters of East Canyon Creek. The landscape is defined by its canyon systems and ridges, notably Mahogany Ridge and Gold Ridge, which hem in the narrow valleys. A Gaging Sta near the mouth of Hardscrabble Creek indicates the importance of water monitoring for this high-elevation agricultural community. Moving south through The Narrows, the terrain becomes increasingly complex with numerous named hollows and canyons such as Joe Durrant Hollow and Henholt Canyon, reflecting a landscape deeply shaped by local nomenclature and small-scale land use during this period.
