About this map

Circleville serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in southwestern Utah, where the Sevier River flows through the fertile Circle Valley. To the west, the steep slopes of the Tushar Mountains dominate the horizon, protected within the Fishlake National Forest. This modern survey reveals a complex irrigation and water management system essential to the high-desert valley, including the Kingston Canal and numerous creeks such as Bullberry Creek and Birch Creek.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Circleville Cem and the nearby settlement of Junction at the northeastern corner. The topography transitions from the flat valley floor to high plateaus and peaks like Parker Peak, with several named canyons including Wades Canyon and Circleville Canyon cutting through the highlands. A network of backcountry routes, such as the Paiute (D-3) Trl, connects the valley to the rugged flats of Gunsight Flat and Grindstone Flat.
