1972 Map of Price

About this map

Price serves as the regional hub of Carbon County, where the Price River and the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad converge to dictate the valley's development. This 1970s landscape reveals an established community infrastructure, featuring the College of Eastern Utah and local institutions like the Notre Dame Sch and Durrant Sch. The surrounding geography is defined by a network of essential water management systems, including the Carbon Canal and several washes such as Hayes Wash and Meads Wash. To the northwest, the settlement of Carbonville sits near the riverbanks, while various cemeteries, such as Whitmore Cem and Mead Cem, provide points of interest for genealogical research. The presence of the County Airport and the County Industrial Center underscores the area's role as a center for transport and local industry.
