About this map

Springville serves as the focal point of this survey, illustrating the community's post-war expansion between the base of the Wasatch Mountain range and the industrial activity near Ironton. The map details the town’s civic and educational core, featuring the Lincoln Sch, Grant Sch, High Sch, and Jefferson Sch, along with the City Cem and Evergreen Cem. The western edge of the settlement is defined by the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad, while the eastern hills transition into the Uinta National Forest.

A notable inclusion is the 1969 purple overprint, which marks significant urban changes such as the Drive-in Theater, a Race Track, and a Trailer Park near the State Fish Hatchery. This layer of revision provides a rare direct comparison of mid-century suburban growth and land use, tracking the emergence of recreational and utility sites like the Sewage Disposal and expanded gravel operations at the foot of Buckley Mtn.
