2017 Map of Emery East

About this map

Emery and the neighboring settlement of Moore occupy the irrigation-dependent landscape of Castle Valley on the eastern edge of the Manti-Lasal National Forest. This 2017 survey illustrates the intricate water management system essential to this arid region, featuring the Rochester Canal and Emery Canal that draw from Muddy Creek. The terrain transitions from the forest boundary in the northwest to the dramatic geological formations of the Molen Reef and Coal Cliffs in the southeast. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, including the Old Emery Cemetery, Muddy Creek Cemetery, and Ridge Cemetery. The presence of these sites, alongside the network of county roads like Co Rd 904 and Co Rd 801, provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure connecting the canyon lands and ranching areas such as the Rochester/Cedar Ridge Ranch.
