About this map

Kanarraville sits at the foot of the Hurricane Cliffs, serving as a gateway between the agricultural flatlands of Cedar Valley and the steep elevation of the North Hills. Surveyed in 1950, this landscape reveals the vital water management strategies of Southern Utah, where Quichapa Lake and numerous diversions like Quichapa Creek and Kanarra Creek supported the local settlement. The eastern edge of the map transitions into the federally protected lands of Zion National Monument, highlighting the proximity of the town to the iconic plateau formations.
