1909 Map of Strawberry Valley

About this map

The high-altitude drainage of the Strawberry River and its tributaries define this 1909 survey, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Wasatch and Utah county borderlands before the era of modern reservoirs. The settlement of Charleston and the nearby D. and R. G. R. R. rail line mark the low-lying Round Valley in the northwest, while the remainder of the territory is characterized by seasonal livestock operations and surveying landmarks. Notable family names appear at Averetts Ranch and Becksteads Ranch, providing essential data points for local genealogists. The geography is punctuated by distinctive peaks such as Mollies Nipple and Teat Mtn, and the presence of the Diamond Battle Monument near the head of Diamond Fork indicates a site of historical conflict. Infrastructure including the West Portal and a Pumphouse Hill reflect early 20th-century water management efforts in the region.
