2017 Map of Hinckley

About this map

Hinckley and the surrounding Millard County landscape are defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure and the meandering path of the Sevier River. This 2017 survey details the intensive water management systems essential to the region, including the Abraham Canal, Highline Canal, and numerous community-managed watercourses like the Town Ditch and Neeley Ditch. The settlement patterns of Deseret and Oasis are clearly visible, oriented around these vital waterways. Evidence of earlier hydrological shifts remains in the Old Channel and the Pete Black Cut, illustrating how the community has historically adapted to the river's movement. Further west, the terrain shifts towards natural water bodies like Cockleburr Lake and Deep Lake. Local history is anchored by the Hinckley City Cem and Deseret City Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists tracing families in these agricultural hubs.
