About this map

Kanosh sits at the foot of the mountains where the Pahvant Valley meets the rising terrain of the Fishlake National Forest. This 2001 revision highlights a landscape defined by water management and geological features, with an aqueduct and numerous wells supporting the local agricultural economy, including a feed lot north of town. The settlement patterns are clear, showing the grid of Kanosh alongside the Kanosh Indian Village and the smaller community of Hatton to the northwest.

Volcanic activity has left a distinct mark on the topography, most notably at the Black Rock Volcano which is flanked by cinder pits. Moving into the canyons, the map traces the paths of Corn Creek and Kanosh Creek, revealing how the seasonal flow from Dameron Canyon and Wine Hollow Canyon has historically shaped the local geography and dictated the placement of early roads and water infrastructure.
