About this map

Spring City serves as the focal point for this survey of the Sanpete Valley, showing the town's distinct grid layout and its immediate reliance on the drainage from the eastern mountains. Irrigation is the defining human footprint here, evidenced by a complex network including the Mill Race Ditch, Point Ditch, and Last Chance Ditch, which redirect water from Oak Creek and Cedar Creek toward the valley floor.

Rising to the east, the Manti-La Sal National Forest dominates the high ground. Family-named landmarks like Freeman Allred Meadow and Bill Allred Canyon indicate generations of land use, while the rugged terrain is marked by steep features like Hell Hole Ridge and Poulson Ridge. Technical infrastructure like the Aqueduct, Pipeline, and Powerhouse illustrate the late-century management of these vital water resources for the communities below.
