About this map

The Sevier Bridge Reservoir dominates the northeastern corner of this landscape, marking a vital hydrological hub where the Sevier River enters a complex network of irrigation infrastructure. This 2014 survey reveals an arid topography defined by deep incisions like Hayes Canyon, Swedes Canyon, and Steep Canyon that drain eastward toward the valley floor. The desert terrain is heavily modified for agriculture, evidenced by the extensive reach of the Piute Canal, Dover Canal, and Metcalf Ditch.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Dover Cem located near W Fayette River Ln, a quiet landmark in an area characterized by scattered rural homesteads and namesake features like Japanese Valley and Lone Cedar Canyon. The road network, including Japs Valley Rd and S Clarion Rd, provides a clear view of how transit follows the natural contours between the canyon mouths and the irrigated plains.
