About this map

Goshen and the surrounding irrigated fields of Goshen Valley sit at the southern edge of the Utah Valley, where the landscape transitions into the high ridges of the West Hills. This 2020 record illustrates the complex water management system essential to the region, including the Goshen Reservoir, Currant Cr Canal, and Warm Springs Ditch. These man-made features work in tandem with natural drainages like Kimball Cr to support the agricultural settlements of Elberta, Lant, and Mount Nebo.

South of the valley floor, the terrain rises sharply into a series of deeply etched drainages, such as Goosenest Canyon, First Canyon, and Government Canyon. The boundary between Utah County and Juab County cuts across these southern highlands. For local historians and genealogists, the Goshen Cem serves as a primary landmark for the community, while the network of section-line roads like Elberta Slant Rd provides a clear view of the area's modern land division.
