About this map

The town of Ferron sits at the eastern edge of this landscape, where the plateau descent meets an intricate system of irrigation that supports local agriculture. This 2001 revision of the 1979 survey highlights the critical water infrastructure of the region, anchored by the Millsite Reservoir and the adjacent Millsite State Park. From the reservoir, a complex network including the Molen Ditch, King Ditch, and Zwahlen Ditch carves through the terrain to feed the valley floor.

To the west, the topography rises sharply into the Manti-La Sal National Forest, dominated by high features like Nelson Mountain and Youngs Peak. This transition from the forested heights of the Ferron Ranger District to the arid flats of Herring Flat and Sage Flat is marked by the historical Hole In The Rock Trail. The map also captures civic life in the town center, noting the San Rafael Sch and the Emery County Nursing Home.
