About this map

Johns Valley occupies the central corridor of this Garfield County survey, bordered by the high elevations of Flake Mtn and the sprawling acreage of the Dixie National Forest. This high-altitude plateau is defined by its complex drainage systems, including the E Fork Sevier River and numerous ephemeral creeks like Clay Cr and Prospect Cr. Evidence of the area's pioneer past remains at the Widtsoe Cem, a vital point of interest for genealogists tracing families from the former settlement in the valley's northeastern reaches.

Transportation through this high country relies on historic routes such as Johns Valley Rd and Toms Best Spring Rd. The map also traces significant recreational paths, most notably the Great Western Trail and its various alternates, which navigate the terrain near Flake Swale. Water management for livestock and wildlife is highlighted by features like the Reynolds Spring Reservoir and remote locations such as Dipping Vat Spring.
