About this map

The small settlement of Burrville anchors this 2017 survey of the high-elevation valleys between the Sevier and Piute county lines. Situated within Plateau Valley, the community is surrounded by a network of water management features essential for high-desert agriculture, including the Koosharem Reservoir and the Koosharem Canal. The landscape is defined by the transition from the irrigated floors of Grass Valley to the steep rises of the Fish Lake Hightop Plateau.

Tracing the historical infrastructure reveals the path of the Old Bamberger Rd and several primitive routes like Trail 2180 and Trail 2360 that penetrate the eastern canyons. Much of the eastern terrain falls within the Fishlake National Forest, where named landmarks such as Hancock Flat, Pole Flat, and Torgerson Flat suggest a history of seasonal grazing and forest management. Local heritage is further marked by the Burrville Cem and numerous named springs like Hancock Spring and Torgerson Spring that sustain the area's hydrology.
