About this map

Henrieville sits at the northern edge of a complex system of plateaus and drainages in southern Utah, mapped here in the mid-1960s. The settlement's lifeblood is traced through waterways like Henrieville Creek and the Henrieville Spring, which supported the community's agricultural and domestic needs. Beyond the village, the landscape is defined by massive stepped terrain features including Coal Bench, Middle Bench, and Wood Bench.

A network of rugged paths and specialized routes, such as the Jeep Trail and the road through Kodachrome Flat, illustrates the area's isolation and its reliance on durable transportation for land management. To the south, the county line between Garfield and Kane Counties bisects a region characterized by deep depressions like Big Dry Valley and distinctive geological markers such as Chimney Rock. This period of the survey reflects a landscape still largely primitive in its infrastructure, primarily utilized for grazing and mineral exploration, as evidenced by various prospects and a drill hole.
