1997 Map of Wanship
USGS Topo · Published 2001About this map
Wanship and Hoytsville anchor this valley corridor where the Weber River and Silver Creek converge. The landscape is dominated by the Rockport Lake reservoir, created by the Wanship Dam, which submerged portions of the valley floor now managed as Rockport State Park. The transportation network is a central theme, with the Union Pacific Railroad winding alongside the river and Interstate 80 tracing the path of the old Silver Creek canyon. This late-century survey captures the region's balance between infrastructure and recreation, showing boat ramps and a Gaging Station near the water, while the surrounding high ground like Lewis Peak is cut by numerous family-named drainages including Bradbury Canyon and Alexander Canyon. Small Cem sites near the lake shore offer touchpoints for genealogists interested in the early settlers of this Summit County junction.
