2023 Map of Wales
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
The settlement of Wales sits at the eastern foot of the San Pitch Mountains, where the high desert terrain meets the irrigated agricultural land of the Sanpete Valley. This geography creates a sharp contrast between the structured grid of the town, featuring Main St and Wales Cem, and the complex drainage systems of the west. Numerous canyons and gulches, such as Ax Handle Canyon, Coal Canyon, and Magistrate Canyon, carve through the uplands within the Uinta National Forest. The map documents a landscape defined by water management and topography, with the San Pitch River meandering through the valley floor to the east. The proximity of the forest boundary to the town limits underscores the historic relationship between the community and the resources of the surrounding peaks, including Big Mtn and Horse Mtn.
