1969 Map of Scipio South

About this map

Scipio serves as the primary settlement on the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the flat agricultural basin of Scipio Valley meets the rising terrain of the Pavant Range. The transition from valley floor to the forested slopes of Fishlake National Forest is marked by a network of drainage systems including Round Valley Creek and Raspberry Canyon. Notable for its many family-named landmarks, the map records the locations of Ralph Lund Spring, Sorensen Canyon, and Billys Canyon. The eastern portion is dominated by the steep ridges of the Valley Mountains, featuring remote points like Lone Cedar Pass and Indian Knoll. Local industry is evidenced by several Gravel Pits positioned along the base of the mountains, while backcountry accessibility is indicated by a variety of jeep and pack trails crossing the high country.
