About this map

Loa serves as the focal point of this 2023 survey, anchored by the Wayne County Courthouse at the heart of the settlement. The town is situated in Rabbit Valley, where a complex network of irrigation infrastructure like the Loa Town Ditch and the Fremont Loa Ditch supports the local agriculture, drawing water toward the fields from the Fremont River. To the north, the settlement of Fremont sits near the edge of the Fishlake National Forest, while the landscape is defined by the dramatic rise of the Awapa Plateau and Black Ridge to the west.

The terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and historical sites, including the Loa Cem and Fremont Cem. Notable geological features such as Little Mtn, Allred Point, and Bullhead Bench overlook the surrounding valleys. The map documents the persistent connection between the high plateau country and the valley floor, tracing routes through Dry Valley and Riley Canyon that have long defined travel and resource management in this part of Wayne County.
