About this map

The Sevier River valley and its surrounding highlands are captured in the mid-1960s, documenting a landscape shaped by agricultural irrigation and extraction industries. The town of Salina serves as a hub, characterized by a grid-patterned core near the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad and the local High Sch. To the north, Redmond sits near the West View Canal and the controlled waters of Redmond Lake.

Resource extraction is evident at The Stone Quarry and Black Cap No 2, while early transportation routes can be traced along the Old Railroad Grade winding through Salina Creek canyon. This era shows significant water management infrastructure, including the Salina Canyon Dam and Soldier Canyon Dam No 1, which support the valley's development within the eastern margins of the Fishlake National Forest. Local history is anchored by the Pioneer Cemetery and East Side Cem, marking the heritage of these Sevier County settlements.
