2020 Map of Kanosh

About this map

Kanosh and the smaller settlement of Hatton anchor this corner of the Pahvant Valley, where the flat agricultural basin meets the rising slopes of the Fishlake National Forest. The map documents a rural landscape defined by historic water rights and family heritage, evidenced by the presence of the Anderson Family Cem and the Hockman Cem. Water sources like Corn Cr and Hot Spring are vital features in this arid environment, dictating the placement of early homesteads and the modern street grid. To the west, the geologically significant Black Rock Volcano rises from the valley floor, while the eastern terrain is carved by numerous drainages including Kanosh Canyon, Wine Hollow Canyon, and Dameron Canyon. This topographic record provides a clear view of the area's transition from the developed valley roads like S Main St to the primitive backcountry of the Dual Springs region.
