About this map

Circle Valley serves as the focal point for this survey, where the Sevier River flows toward the prominent Piute Reservoir in the north. The agricultural and civic character of the region is anchored by the town of Junction, the county seat, which features the Piute High Sch and the Junction Municipal Airport. Just to the southeast, the settlement of Kingston sits at the mouth of Kingston Canyon, where the East Fork Kingston Canyon joins the main valley floor.

Evidence of local industry and land management is visible in the scattered Prospect markings and the expansive Dixie National Forest boundary to the south. The water management system is well-defined, including the Rocky Ford Reservoir and Smiths Reservoir, alongside a network of canals that support the valley's ranching operations. Smaller landmarks like the Cem near Kingston and remote outposts like Corral and Corral Flat provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this part of Piute County.
