2023 Map of Oak City North

About this map

Oak City sits at the base of the Canyon Mountains in Millard County, representing a classic Great Basin agricultural settlement layout defined by its irrigation infrastructure. Water management is the central theme of this landscape, evidenced by the Central Utah Canal winding through the western valley and the presence of the Fool Creek Reservoir Number 1. These systems support life on Taylors Flat and Fool Creek Flat before the terrain rises sharply into the protected lands of the Fishlake National Forest. Within these highlands, the map reveals a complex network of drainage and topography, including the steep descents of Bridge Canyon, Box Canyon, and the evocatively named Devils Twist. The transition from the structured street grid of the town to the forested wilderness of Mahogany Hollow highlights the precarious balance of settlement in this arid region.
