2017 Map of Kanarraville

About this map

Kanarraville and Hamiltons Fort anchor this 2017 survey of the transition between the Cedar Valley floor and the rising elevations of the Harmony Mountains and Hurricane Cliffs. The landscape is defined by the sharp verticality of the Zion National Park boundary to the south and the hydrologic features of the valley, including Quichapa Lake and the Harris Gubler Reservoir. Transport through this corridor relies on Old US Hwy 91 and the Hamilton Ft Frontage Rd, which follow the natural break in the terrain. For those investigating local history, the Kanarraville Cem and numerous named water sources like Mud Springs and Sweetwater Spring provide specific points of interest on the desert floor. The map clearly illustrates how modern infrastructure and water management intersect with the prominent geologic features of southern Utah.
