About this map

Kanarraville sits at the base of the North Hills where the canyon floor of Cedar Valley meets the rising elevations of the Harmony Mountains. This mid-century survey captures a vital water-management landscape, featuring numerous reservoirs, a levee, and a large spillway near Quichapa Lake. The town is the central hub of this agricultural and resource-rich area, supported by the flow of Kanarra Creek and Quichapa Creek.

South of the settlement, the map traces the northern fringe of Zion National Park, indicating early access routes and geographic markers like The Saucer and Woods Hollow. For those interested in local history and resource extraction, the presence of a prospect and Mud Springs offers insight into the search for minerals and water in this arid corridor. The local Cemetery and the seasonal patterns of Sweetwater Creek help define the community's relationship with its environment.
