Southeast of Springville at the foothill of the Maple Canyon lies the community of Mapleton. Mapleton is somewhat rural but suburbanizing in the wake of development, numerous large developments have expanded the city in recent years. Mapleton boasts small-town charm with larger lots, one restaurant and large parks. Mapleton is convenient with Highway 89 running through the city with access to Spanish Fork as well as Highway 6 through Spanish Fork Canyon.
