Sevier County (Utah) Miscellaneous maps collection
This series contain various maps related to Sevier County. Most of the maps reportedly came into the possession of a private individual when the County was cleaning out offices. They were later given to the State Archives for preservation. The maps are varied including such map types as road maps, property ownership maps, tax appraisal maps, township and range maps, and a cemetery map. They include several meticulously hand-drawn maps by the skilled local draftsman Anton Nielsen. For a couple of the maps, the State Archives holds only a digital copy. This includes a 1912 map of the county, which was copied from a map in the Miss Mary's Museum in Salina.
