2017 Map of Panguitch NW

About this map

The Sevier River valley dominates this portion of Iron and Garfield Counties, where an intricate network of early irrigation infrastructure reflects the region's agricultural heritage. Small-scale engineering projects like the Barton Tebbs Lefevre Canal, McEwen Ditch, and Panguitch Canal reveal how water was diverted across the high desert floor to support ranching and farming operations. The terrain transitions from the river's floodplains to the wooded slopes of the Dixie National Forest in the west, with local geography marked by family-named landmarks such as Tebbs Hollow and Wide Hollow. At Bear Valley Junction, the road network connects these remote drainages. The presence of an Animal Pit near the southern edge and various named washes like Red Wash and Sand Wash further illustrate a landscape shaped by both natural erosion and specific land-use practices.
