2020 Map of Canyon Creek

About this map

Marysville and the neighboring settlement of Gloster anchor the southern portion of this landscape, situated near the headwaters of Silver Creek and Jennies Fork. The area is defined by a complex network of gulches and ridges that feed into the larger drainage of Little Prickly Pear Creek, a pattern that heavily influenced early mining and ranching roads. A significant history of water management is visible through a series of engineered waterways, including Grady Ditch, Justisson Ditch, and Gans Klein Ditch, which traverse the lower elevations near Canyon Creek. To the west, the terrain rises toward Edward Mountain, while local landmarks like Trinity Hill and Pikes Gulch suggest a landscape shaped by both natural processes and early industrial extraction. Genealogists can also locate the Marysville Cem just outside the town proper.
