1957 Map of New Harmony

About this map

New Harmony sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape where the Dixie National Forest dominates the terrain. The map details a remote ranching and forest-service corridor in southwestern Utah, marked by established family spreads like Rencher Ranch, Gardner Ranch, and the Danish Ranch. Infrastructure for water management and resource protection is prominent, including the Browse Area Guard Station and several gaging stations along the Santa Clara River. High elevations like Signal Peak and Timber Mountain define the topography, while a network of springs—such as Ash Grove Spring and Columbine Spring—serves as the lifeblood for the isolated homesteads and recreation areas. The southern portion shows the transition toward Toquerville via the Anderson Junction, where the early paths of the Pintura Ditch and Hurricane Ditch trace the historical efforts to move water through this arid environment.
