1951 Map of Santaquin

About this map

Santaquin and Mona anchor the agricultural landscape of the Juab Valley in this early 1950s survey, where irrigation networks like the Goshen City DITCH and Strawberry Canal supported the local orchards and farms. The map illustrates a transitional era for the region's transport and utility infrastructure, featuring both the Union Pacific and Denver and Rio Grande Western rail lines alongside the Santaquin Powerhouse. To the east, the dramatic ascent into the Uinta National Forest is marked by landmarks such as Mt Nebo and the Privateer Mine. The central Mona Reservoir and the Burriston Ponds highlight the critical management of water in the arid basin, while the placement of the Genola Ch and Santaquin Cem provides important reference points for those researching the early pioneer settlements of Goshen Valley.
