1962 Map of Price
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
San Pete Valley and Juab Valley anchor the western portion of this mid-century survey, showcasing a dense network of established settlements like Manti, Ephraim, and Nephi. The central and eastern regions transition into the rugged San Rafael Swell and the towering Book Cliffs, where the landscape is defined by deep canyons and the high plateaus of the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Industrial activity in the early 1960s is centered around the Price area, where the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad serves coal-mining communities such as Castlegate, Kenilworth, and Hiawatha. The presence of Coal City (abandoned) and Asphalt (abandoned) indicates the shifting economic fortunes of the region's extraction industries. Water management is critical in this arid environment, evidenced by the systems of the San Pitch River and reservoirs like Sevier Bridge Reservoir supporting the valley agriculture.
