2017 Map of Fivemile Valley

About this map

Paria serves as a central reference point in this high-desert landscape of Kane County, where the Paria River and Cottonwood Cr carve through the geological formations of the Grand Staircase-Escalante region. The mapping detail highlights the isolation of the Pahreah Cem, a significant site for local history and genealogy located near the historic riverbank. Distinctive landforms such as The Cockscomb and The Rimrocks define the vertical character of the terrain, while Cottonwood Canyon Rd provides the primary passage through the valley. The presence of Five Mile Spring and the drainage patterns of Catstair Canyon indicate the critical role of water sources in this arid environment, shaping both the natural geography and the history of movement through Fivemile Valley.
