2011 Map of Spanish Fork

About this map

Spanish Fork and the surrounding Utah Valley settlements are anchored by an intricate system of water management including the Strawberry Highline Canal, Salem Canal, and Payson City Canal. This 2011 survey documents the residential expansion of Salem, Payson, and Elk Ridge toward the base of the Wasatch Range. The map provides significant genealogical value, locating the Spanish Fork City Cemetery, Salem City Cemetery, and Benjamin Cemetery. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Tithing Mountain and Little Mountain, where specialized sites like the Dream Mine and Leader Mine are situated near Water Canyon. The landscape is a mix of dense suburban development and high-altitude features such as Mollies Nipple and Picayune Canyon, reflecting the regional reliance on canyon drainage and engineered irrigation like Beer Creek and Peteetneet Creek to support agriculture and growing communities.
