1986 Map of New Harmony

About this map

New Harmony sits at the foot of the eastern slopes of the Pine Valley Mountains, serving as a gateway between the high peaks and the drainage of Ash Creek. This mid-1980s provisional study details a landscape where water is the primary architect of the terrain, from the perennial flows of Pinto Creek to the seasonal drainage of Death Valley Wash. Much of the western half of the quadrangle is protected within the Dixie National Forest, containing significant elevation changes through Straight Canyon and Main Canyon. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated near the settlement, including the Cem and family-named landmarks like Siler Spring and Comanche Spring. The map captures the interface of the Washington and Iron county lines as they cross the high-elevation flats and rocky knolls, providing a clear look at the primitive transportation network of the era, such as Willard Road.
