I LOVE Mapleton!
I live in Mapleton with my wife and six children. Mapleton
City is nestled against the majestic foothills of Sierra
Bonita Mountain in the Wasatch Range. A unique community
having the advantage of 60 percent of the land being
undeveloped within the corporate boundaries of the City. The
rural atmosphere combined with the friendliness of its
citizens have attracted an influx of new residents to the
area.
The current population is approximately 6,500 with the
State projecting a population of 20,000 in the Year 2020.
To avoid jeopardizing the open space ambiance and
spectacular views in every direction, the City has been
and will be pro-active in its planning scope to accommodate
diversified residential, commercial, and recreational
interests.
