2017 Map of Caineville

About this map

The Fremont River carves its way through a desert landscape dominated by high mesas and intricate reef systems in this recent study of central Utah. The settlement of Caineville serves as a small hub where Caineville Wash meets the river, situated between the massive North Caineville Mesa and South Caineville Mesa. The map captures a high level of detail regarding the historical transit routes used by early settlers, specifically the Moab to Boulder Town route. This path winds through the rugged southern section of the Capitol Reef National Park boundary, illustrating the topographic challenges faced by travelers in the region. Genealogists will find particular interest in the dispersed burial sites, including the Caineville Cemetery, the Notom Cemetery, and the isolated Crowther Gravesite located near the riverbank. Significant geomorphological features like North Caineville Reef and the Red Desert define the open spaces surrounding these historic markers.
