2017 Map of Mount Carmel

About this map

Mount Carmel and Mount Carmel Junction serve as the primary gateways to this dramatic high-desert landscape in Kane County. The terrain is defined by the E Fork Virgin River and its intricate drainage network, including Muddy Cr and several seasonally dry washes such as State Barn Wash. The mapping reveals striking geological formations, most notably the towering White Cliffs and Elkheart Cliffs that border the river valley. Local history is anchored at the Mount Carmel Cem and various named landmarks like Dianas Throne and Glendale Bench. This modern survey documents the intersection of human settlement and complex topography, tracing roads like Tait Ln and Mineral Spring Rd as they navigate around deep canyons like Yellowjacket Canyon and Joseph Canyon. The presence of Clay Flat and The Sand Hills illustrates the varied surface geology that characterizes this portion of the Colorado Plateau.
