2011 Map of Marysvale Canyon

About this map

Marysvale Canyon and the surrounding peaks of the Tushar Range dominate this 2011 survey, showing a landscape defined by steep drainages and isolated mining claims. The Sevier River flows through the eastern corridor, anchoring a string of small settlements including Sevier, Belknap, and Hoovers. This area has long been a crossroads for transit and extraction, evidenced here by the presence of the BW and H Mine and the Yellow Cougar Mine located near Hoover Peak. The topography is marked by significant elevation changes, from the depths of Clear Creek Canyon to the heights of Sargent Mountain. Recreational and natural landmarks are prominent throughout the canyon system, including the distinctive Big Rock Candy Mountain and the Castle Rock Campground, while high-altitude water bodies like Willow Lake, Twin Lake, and Hidden Lake dot the western interior.
