About this map

The Sevier River meanders through the heart of the Sevier Valley in the mid-1960s, defining the agricultural landscape of Redmond and Axtell. This area, situated along the Sanpete and Sevier County line, is characterized by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure including the Canal and various ditches that supported the local farming economy. A notable historical marker on this landscape is the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts horizontally across the terrain near the Salina-Gunnison Airport.

Evidence of local industry and resource extraction is visible throughout the White Hills, where several quarries, prospects, and a Lime Kiln are located. The map also documents vital water sources such as Niel Spring and the Willow Creek Reservoir. For family historians, the location of the Axtell Cemetery and the small settlement of Spearmint provide specific points of interest for tracing local roots in this rural Utah corridor.
