About this map

Shivwits Indian Reservation dominates this 1954 landscape in Washington County, Utah, providing a detailed look at the rural environment before later development. The settlement of Shivwits is documented along the Santa Clara River, accompanied by a local Cem and Gravel Pit that highlight the small-scale infrastructure of the period. This preliminary survey emphasizes the water sources critical to the arid region, marking Pahcoon Springs, Camp Spring, and several designated Reservoir sites. To the east, the flat expanse of the Santa Clara Bench contrasts with the steep terrain of Whitmore Canyon. The mapping, based on 1953 aerial photography, captures the exact limits of the Shivwits Indian Reservation Boundary as it stood at mid-century.
