2014 Map of Ferron

About this map

Ferron Mill and the expansive Millsite Reservoir anchor this western Emery County landscape, where the high desert meets the rising elevations of the Manti-LaSal National Forest. The map illustrates a complex water management system essential to the high plateau region, featuring several specialized basins such as the Zwahlen Wash Debris Basin Reservoir and the Straight Hollow N Debris Basin Reservoir. These structures, alongside irrigation features like the Molen Ditch and King Ditch, reveal the engineering required to sustain agricultural life in the shadow of peaks like South Horn Mtn and Nelson Mtn. The transition from the structured street grid of Ferron to the remote ranching grounds at Peterson Ranch highlights the localized patterns of settlement and land use that define the Castle Valley corridor.
