About this map

Johns Valley dominates the central landscape of this Garfield County quadrangle, where the East Fork Sevier River and South Fork Sevier River meander through the high-elevation basin. To the west, the terrain rises sharply into the timbered slopes of the Dixie National Forest, marked by peaks like Flake Mountain and a network of seasonal drainages including Hunt Creek and South Fork Center Creek.

Evidence of ranching and early settlement history is visible at Widtsoe Junction, situated near the Widtsoe Cem on the eastern edge of the valley. This 1971 survey documents the water management vital to this arid region, showing the Reynolds Spring Reservoir and Cameron Reservoir No 1 alongside various springs such as Tom Best Spring and Dipping Vat Spring. A network of unpaved routes and a Jeep Trail provide access to the remote backcountry and family-named landmarks like Cameron Wash.
