2011 Map of Minersville

About this map

Minersville serves as the focal point of this southwestern Utah survey, situated at a junction where the waters of the Beaver River are carefully managed through an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure. The map reveals the intricate water rights and engineering of the region, featuring named channels such as the Utopia Ditch, The Mile Ditch, and the Minersville Canal. These waterways snake across the flats beneath the prominence of Muddy Hill and Black Mountain. To the north of the town center, the Minersville Cemetery provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early families. Southward, the landscape transitions toward the high desert drainages of Parowan Canyon and Big Wash, where the Big Wash Debris Basin Dam stands as a guard against flash flooding in this arid climate.
