2017 Map of Ferron

About this map

The town of Ferron sits at the edge of the desert and the high plateau, serving as a gateway to the high elevations of the Manti-LaSal National Forest. In this 2017 study, the complex system of water management is clearly visible, with the Millsite Reservoir feeding several irrigation networks such as the King Ditch, Zwahlen Ditch, and Molen Ditch that sustain local agriculture. The western half of the map is dominated by significant peaks including S Horn Mtn, Little Nelson Mtn, and Nelson Mtn, while the Ferron Mill stands as a local landmark. A network of historic routes like the Blue Trail and Hole Trail winds through the terrain, suggesting the area's long-standing importance for movement between the San Rafael Swell and the Wasatch Plateau.
