The Utah Genealogical and Historical Magazine, as a reference, shows that the church which appears on the older topos was actually a Mormon branch, which is to say a type of individual congregation. That, and the Bates School, are the only buildings seen here, and the spot itself isn't named "Bates" on the maps until relatively late in the game. One gathers that the LDS Church may have hoped that this would grow into a town, but at any rate it doesn't appear to have happened. The branch building was turned into a house, and the school vanished, to be replaced by a rather grand house, but I can't find evidence for anything else except one person "from" here and the post office, housed I cannot tell where.
