About this map

The agrarian and water-dependent landscape of Emery County is captured here in the early 21st century, centered on the settlement of Molen and the eastern edge of Ferron. A complex network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Molen Ditch, Peterson Ditch, and Fugate Ditch, crisscrosses the terrain, illustrating the historical engineering required to sustain agriculture in this part of Castle Valley. These waterways draw from Ferron Cr, which carves through the distinct geological feature known as The Box before winding toward the Dutch Flat Reservoir.

Family legacies and local history are anchored by the Molen Cem and Ferron City Cem, alongside established properties like Larson Ranch and Nelson Ranch. The map also traces local transit and utility routes such as the Molen Cutoff and S Gas Wls, while topographical landmarks like Kings Crown and the Blue Dougway define the horizon. This survey provides a clear view of how land use and water rights have shaped the community from Clawson down to the southern reaches of Eli Hollow.
