1951 Map of Santaquin

About this map

Santaquin and the agricultural lands of southern Utah County are mapped here in the early 1950s, a landscape defined by the sharp transition between the irrigated valley floor and the massive rise of the Wasatch Range. The Union Pacific and Denver And Rio Grande Western railroads cross through this corridor, serving established towns like Goshen and Mona while skirting the edge of Cedar Hollow. Significant water management features, including the Mount Nebo Reservoir and Goshen Reservoir, highlight the critical role of mountain runoff for the surrounding orchards and farms.
