2017 Map of Molen

About this map

Ferron and the neighboring community of Molen anchor this agricultural landscape in Castle Valley. The area is defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure designed to manage the waters of Ferron Cr, including the Molen Ditch, Peterson Ditch, and the Dutch Flat Reservoir. These systems support the local farms that contrast sharply with the desert terrain to the east, where the prominent Ferron Reef and features like Kings Crown rise above the basin. Genealogists will find the Ferron City Cem and Molen Cem clearly marked, alongside various family-named landmarks such as Eli Hollow and Zwahlen Wash. The transition from the settled valley floor to the draws and washes like Molen Seep Wash reflects the local dependency on the ditch and canal system for settlement sustainability.
