About this map

The Provo River and Strawberry River systems define this 1907 survey of the high country between the Wasatch and Uinta ranges. Small farming settlements like Charleston and Buysville sit in the north, while Wallsburg anchors Round Valley to the west. The landscape is a network of named drainages, from the sequential First Water Creek through Sixth Water Creek to the sprawling Diamond Fork. This period shows the early infrastructure of the region, including the D And R G RR rail line cutting through the northwest corner and the remote Rangers Cabin and West Portal located near the Wasatch Co Utah Co boundary line.

Notable family-named landmarks like Averetts Ranch and Becksteads Ranch offer specific points of interest for genealogists, while distinctive terrain features such as Mollies Nipple and Two Tom Hill provide navigational anchors in the high-elevation terrain. The presence of a Dipping Vat near Red Creek Mtn reflects the livestock-driven economy of the era, long before the major modern reservoir developments would alter these mountain valleys.
