1969 Map of Treasureton

About this map

Treasureton and the surrounding high country of Franklin County are defined by the steep slopes of the Portneuf Range and the meandering path of Cottonwood Creek. In the late 1960s, this landscape supported a modest agricultural and ranching economy, evidenced by the presence of the Cleveland Irrigation Canal and a Gravel Pit near Battle Creek. The geography transitions from the elevated Treasureton Hill down to the banks of the Bear River at Oneida Station, where a gaging station monitored water levels for downstream use. Genealogists will find the Treasureton Cemetery clearly marked on the flats below the foothills. Numerous named springs and jeep trails underscore the importance of water access and mobility across this varied terrain of peaks like Rocky Peak and high valleys like Stock Valley.
