| Description | Administrative History: The city of Mapleton began as an agricultural extension of nearby Springville, Utah. Water rights and availability was a central issue in Mapleton's history, as a shortage led many early settlers to leave for better farmland. However, a group of determined residents remained. Frustrated with Springville's inattention to their irrigation problems, they formed the Mapleton Canal Reservoir and Irrigation Company. Although it is unclear when the company was formed, this... Collection consists of an account book from the Mapleton Canal Reservoir and Irrigation Company, documenting the company's history from 1889 to 1899 in Utah. |
