2014 Map of Paisley

About this map

Paisley sits as the central hub of this high-desert basin, where the Chewaucan River flows from the steep timbered slopes of the Fremont National Forest into a complex network of agricultural irrigation. The landscape transitions sharply from the elevated terrain of Ten Mile Butte and Fir Timber Butte down to the Paisley Flat. This 2014 survey documents a sophisticated water management system vital to local ranching, including the Admans Mill Pond, Fisher Slough, and numerous man-made channels like the Red House Ditch and Jones Canal. South of the main settlement, the land gives way to the Upper Chewaucan Marsh, while the western hills hide Twin Lakes and the drainage of Sage Hen Cr. The map details the rural infrastructure connecting these points, from the Fremont Hwy to remote timber access routes like Natl Forest Develop Road 330 Rd.
