1966 Map of Cannonville

About this map

Tropic and Cannonville anchor a network of small high-desert settlements where the Tropic Valley meets the winding Paria River. In the mid-1960s, the landscape was defined by the intersection of irrigation, early tourism, and high-plateau geography, with Bryce Canyon National Park touching the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. The map reveals the functional infrastructure of these rural communities, from the Bryce Valley Sch and local Cem sites to a Water Tank and Siphon that hint at the water management required in this arid terrain.
