About this map

Enoch anchors the southern portion of this Iron County landscape, positioned where the flat expanse of Cedar Valley meets the dramatic rising topography of the Hurricane Cliffs. The map illustrates a structured grid of residential development and agricultural plots, particularly around the historic site of Fort Johnson. Geologically, the area is defined by the Hurricane Fault, which runs along the base of the cliffs, creating a sharp boundary between the valley floor and the elevated terrain of the east.

Water management is a central theme of this arid region, evidenced by the ephemeral Rush Lake to the north and drainage systems like Johnson Cr and Braffits Cr that flow toward the basin. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint the Enoch Cem and follow the modern infrastructure of the Minersville Hwy, which follows a long-established transit corridor through this portion of the Great Basin.
