About this map

The high-elevation landscape of the Dixie National Forest dominates this study of Washington County, where the Santa Clara River flows through deep canyons and high plateaus. The settlement of Pine Valley occupies the southeastern corner, serving as a gateway to a network of backcountry paths including the Equestrian Trail and Goat Spring Trail. This area is characterized by its numerous springs, such as Mountain Home Spring and Eightmile Spring, which have long supported the local geography and ranching history of the Pine Valley Mountains.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Central Cem and Pine Valley Cem, located near the intersection of early corridors like Pine Valley Hwy E. The terrain rises sharply from Fourmile Bench toward prominent summits including Atchinson Mtn and Harrison Peak. Of particular note is the infrastructure supporting the small communities, represented by the Four Mile Bench Sewage Lagoon and the winding Canal Trail.
