About this map

The agricultural landscape of Howell dominates the southern portion of this northern Utah survey, centered near the local Post Office and the Howell Cemetery. The valley floor is defined by a complex network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure, including the N West Canal Rd, W Canal St, and E Canal Rd, which manage the flow of Blue Creek as it moves south through the Blue Creek Valley.

To the north and east, the terrain rises into prominent formations such as Anderson Hill, Blue Ridge, and the West Hills. Water sources are critical in this high-desert environment, evidenced by the Blue Creek Reservoir and smaller features like Blue Creek Spring and Wheatley Spring in the Blue Spring Hills. This map documents a region where the ranching and farming economy is dictated by the availability of water and the natural corridors formed between the mountain ridges.
