2011 Map of Fivemile Valley

About this map

Paria and its surrounding canyonlands are documented here just after the turn of the twenty-first century, showing a landscape defined by the winding course of the Paria River. The terrain transitions from the broad Brigham Plains to the sheltered Fivemile Valley, where historic activity is marked by the Hattie Green Mine. This area of Kane County relies on a network of unpaved routes, including Old County Rd and the long stretch of Cottonwood Canyon Rd, which tracks the drainage of Cottonwood Creek. Local water sources like Five Mile Spring provide critical points of interest in an otherwise arid geography characterized by natural features such as Rock House Cove and Catstair Canyon. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of Sand Gulch and West Cove, illustrating how the physical environment has dictated the placement of roads and resource extraction sites in this part of southern Utah.
