About this map

Pine Valley and the western edge of Central define the human footprint on this 2014 survey of Washington County. Much of the landscape is dominated by the protected lands of the Dixie National Forest, where high elevations like Harrison Peak and Atchinson Mtn overlook a complex network of drainages. The Santa Clara River flows through the southern half of the map, fed by numerous tributaries including Mahogany Cr and Grass Valley Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Pine Valley Cem located just north of the community, situated along E Pinevalley Rd. The map illustrates the transition from the relatively level terrain of Grassy Flat and Fourmile Bench to the deeply incised paths of Lark Canyon and Earl Canyon. This area remains a vital intersection of high-desert forest and mountain river systems in Southwest Utah.
