About this map

The Sevier River winds through a narrow gap between the Gilson Mountains and the Fish Lake Mountains in this late 1960s topographic study. This corridor serves as a vital transportation and irrigation artery, where the Union Pacific railroad tracks parallel the Leamington Canal and the river's course. Small railroad-related settlements and industrial points such as Soma, Uisco, and Parley are situated along the line, providing evidence of the region's mid-century rail and water management infrastructure.

Elevations rise sharply away from the river toward Champlin Peak, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the Fish Lake National Forest. Human activity is concentrated in the canyons, indicated by a Dam, multiple Quarry sites, and a Radio Tower near Leamington Pass. The landscape is a complex network of drainage systems like Gilson Wash and Broad Canyon, which define the rugged character of the Juab and Millard county border.
