About this map

The Sevier River carves a critical corridor through the high desert of West-Central Utah, providing the lifeblood for early 20th-century irrigation and transport. This mid-1960s survey documents a landscape of dramatic verticality, where the Gilson Mountains and Fish Lake Mountains converge. The intricate network of the Sevier River Canal, Mc Intyre Canal, and Utah Central Canal reveals the extensive engineering required to manage water in this arid environment.

Industrial and transport signatures are prominent along the Union Pacific rail line, which follows the river's bend past small sidings or settlements like Soma, Uisco, and Parley. At higher elevations, the Fish Lake National Forest encompasses complex terrain marked by Leamington Pass and the rugged slopes leading to Champlin Peak. This map is particularly useful for tracing the path of the Leamington Pass Road and locating industrial features such as a Quarry or the remote Radio Tower near the southern boundary.
