2001 Map of Circleville

About this map

Circleville sits at the heart of Circle Valley, where the agricultural landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation including the West Canal and an Aqueduct. This 2001 revision of earlier 1960s mapping illustrates the intersection of high mountain terrain and valley floor irrigation, capturing the town as it straddles the Sevier River. To the west, the landscape rises sharply into the Fishlake National Forest, a region marked by deep drainages like Wades Canyon and prominent landmarks such as Parker Peak. Local history is anchored by the Cem on the edge of town and the various family-named hollows and flats, such as Betenson Flat and Lums Canyon, that suggest the area's grazing and timber heritage. The map also documents industrial footprints like a Gravel Pit and the natural bottleneck of Circleville Canyon to the south.
