2011 Map of Circleville

About this map

Circleville serves as the focal point of this 2011 survey, situated along the valley floor where the Sevier River flows northward toward the Great Basin. The town's grid is established adjacent to the Kingston Canal, reflecting the vital role of water management in this high-altitude landscape. To the west, the terrain rises sharply into a series of drainage basins and canyons, including Oak Basin, Cottonwood Basin, and Wades Canyon. These features indicate a rugged transition from the fertile valley to the high plateau country. Local landmarks such as the Circleville Cemetery and the Circleville Post Office provide essential reference points for genealogists and local historians. The map also traces numerous seasonal and perennial waterways like Birch Creek and Bullberry Creek, which carve through Circleville Canyon and Lums Canyon, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that define the region's geography.
