2011 Map of Hayes Canyon

About this map

Valley Mountains dominate the western landscape of this Sanpete County region, where the terrain is marked by a series of deep drainages including Hayes Canyon, Swedes Canyon, and Pickett Canyon. To the east, the geography shifts abruptly toward the managed waters of the Sevier River valley. This 2011 survey documents a complex network of agricultural water management, with the Piute Canal, West View Canal, and Metcalf Ditch diverting water through the lowlands to support the local farming economy. The map provides significant genealogical value at the rural crossroads of Dover Rd and Clarion Rd, where the Dover Cemetery stands as a primary landmark for the surrounding community. Other notable features include the Sevier Bridge Reservoir in the northeast and the curiously named Japanese Valley tucked between the mountain ridges, illustrating the varied land use and naming conventions of this central Utah corridor.
