About this map

Greenwich serves as the central hub of this Piute County landscape, situated where the valley floor meets a complex network of canyons and watercourses. The area's agricultural and water management history is anchored by the Koosharem Canal and the critical storage provided by the Lower Box Creek Reservoir and Upper Box Creek Reservoir to the northwest. These engineering features, including the Lower Box Creek Dam, illustrate the vital role of irrigation in sustaining local life.

Beyond the settlement, the terrain is defined by dramatic geography such as Browns Canyon, Shaffers Canyon, and Jackie Canyon. The map traces the hydrological connections of the Otter Creek system and various mountain forks, including the Middle Fork Box Creek and South Fork Box Creek. High-altitude features like Indian Flat and Little Meadow provide insight into the seasonal use of the surrounding uplands, while Parker Springs marks a localized water source in the eastern reaches of the quadrangle.
