About this map

Holden and the agricultural lands of the Pahvant Valley are meticulously documented in this 2017 survey of Millard County. The map details the precise irrigation network essential to this arid landscape, featuring the Central Utah Canal alongside numerous ditches such as the Current Spring Ditch and Johnson Ditch. This reliance on managed water stands in sharp contrast to the natural drainages of Pioneer Cr and Wild Goose Cr that flow from the eastern highlands.

Local history is preserved in the street grids of Holden and the outlying settlement of Greenwood. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Fishlake National Forest, where landmarks like Red Cedar Hill and Maple Hollow overlook the valley floor. Notable elevations such as Cedar Mtn and Bold Mtn punctuate the western reaches, providing a clear picture of the geographic boundaries that have shaped local settlement and ranching for generations.
