2023 Map of Harrisburg Junction

About this map

The Virgin River flows along the southern reach of this landscape, carving through a complex geological area defined by the Harrisburg Dome and the red rock formations of Leeds Reef and White Reef. In the early 21st century, this region shows the distinct meeting point of southwestern Utah's wilderness and expanding residential developments. The area around Harrisburg Junction serves as a modern crossroads, situated near the historical site of Harrisburg and its namesake Harrisburg Cem. Significant portions of the land are preserved within the Dixie National Forest and the Cottonwood Forest Wilderness, protecting features like Yant Flat and Dicks Canyon. To the east, the Quail Creek Reservoir provides a major water feature in an otherwise arid terrain of washes and benches, including Grapevine Pass Wash and the Harrisburg Bench.
