1969 Map of Treasureton

About this map

Treasureton serves as the focal point for this landscape in the Portneuf Range during the late 1960s, a period when the agricultural and water management infrastructure of Franklin County was well established. The map highlights the essential role of irrigation in this high-elevation terrain, specifically through the Cleveland Irrigation Canal and its path near Cleveland Hill. The settlement pattern follows the drainages of Battle Creek and Cottonwood Creek, with numerous springs providing vital water sources for local livestock operations in Stock Valley. Local history is anchored at the Treasureton Cemetery and the site of Oneida Station along the Bear River. The topography is dominated by several named summits, including Treasureton Hill and Rocky Peak, while a network of jeep trails and 4WD tracks suggests a landscape primarily utilized for ranching and resource extraction, evidenced by a Mine and Gravel Pit located within the quadrangle.
