About this map

Huntington and the smaller settlement of Lawrence serve as the primary anchors of this high-desert agricultural landscape in Emery County. The region's dependence on water management is clearly visible through an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Cleveland Canal, Mammoth Canal, and various lateral ditches like the Cleveland Center Ditch. These man-made channels draw from Huntington Cr, supporting the fields surrounding the town centers.

North of the main town, Huntington Lake and the adjacent Huntington Campground provide a recreational hub, while the Huntington Municipal Airport sits on the plateau above Desert Lake Wash. Notable landmarks for local researchers include the Huntington City Cem and Lawrence Cem, which mark the genealogy of the early settler families who established these communities among the benches and flats. The terrain is defined by distinct topographical features such as Poison Spring Bench, Allens Hill, and the humorously named Nosey Joe Flat.
