Mapleton is still a somewhat rural area but is rapidly suburbanizing in the wake of development. Numerous large subdivisions have been approved in recent years. None of the city touches [[Interstate 15 in Utah|Interstate 15]], which has kept the city more rural than neighboring [[Springville, Utah|Springville]] and [[Spanish Fork, Utah|Spanish Fork]]. The main artery through town is [[U.S. Route 89 in Utah|U.S. Route 89]]. Mapleton uses innovative planning techniques, including Transferable Development Rights (TDRs), to preserve the foothills. Many of the homes are located on large lots, with most minimum lot sizes ranging from one-third acre to {{convert|2|acre|m2}}.
