1983 Map of Molen

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The settlement of Molen sits at the heart of an intricate water-management network designed to sustain life in the arid Emery County landscape. This 1983 edition illustrates the reliance on gravity-fed irrigation, featuring a complex system of channels like the Molen Ditch, Peterson Ditch, and the Dutch Flat Aqueduct. These engineering works draw from Ferron Creek to transform the Dutch Flat region. The topography is defined by sharp transitions, from the flat agricultural plains to the dramatic uplift of the Molen Reef and landmarks such as Kings Crown. Evidence of rural industry and local infrastructure is present through the Pumping Sta, a Gas Well, and the local Cem, while the presence of Molen Tanks in the southeast suggests the vital importance of water storage for livestock and ranching operations in the high desert.
