About this map

The mountain town of Pine Valley and the community of Central anchor this 2023 survey of southwest Utah. Situated within the Dixie National Forest, the area transitions from the high peaks of the Pine Valley Mountain Wilderness down through a series of dramatic landforms like Atchinson Mtn and the broad Fourmile Bench. The Santa Clara River winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, flanked by numerous springs such as Indian Spring and Nervine Spring that suggest the critical importance of water management in this high-desert environment.

Local history is preserved in the location of the Central Cem and Pine Valley Cem, while the landscape is marked by a network of drainage systems including Mahogany Creek, Lark Canyon, and Dan Sill Creek. The map documents the modern infrastructure of these settlements, from the residential grid of Central to the recreational trails near Pine Valley, including the Equestrian Trl and Grass Valley Atk Trl.
