About this map

Paria sits along the Paria River in this desert landscape, where water and geology dictate the local geography. The area's settlement history is anchored by the Pahreah Cem, situated near the riverbanks where the Cottonwood Cr joins the main flow. The terrain is defined by dramatic erosional features, including the striking formations of The Rimrocks and the deep recess of Rock House Cove.

Cattle ranching and travel through this corner of Kane County follow the natural corridors of Fivemile Valley and Sand Gulch, while Cottonwood Canyon RD provides the primary modern access route. From the heights of Fivemile Mtn to the broad expanse of the Brigham Plains, the map documents a territory where life centers around rare water sources like Five Mile Spring and the drainage patterns of Catstair Canyon and West Cove.
