About this map

Sevier River water rights and agricultural development define this high-altitude landscape along the border of Iron and Garfield Counties. The map reveals an intricate network of irrigation systems essential to the region's ranching history, including the Panguitch Canal, McEwen Ditch, and the uniquely named Barton Tebbs LaFevre Canal. These man-made waterways redirect flow from natural sources like Bear Cr and Sanford Cr to support the valley's clearings.

Settlement is concentrated around Bear Valley Junction, while the surrounding terrain is marked by significant topographical features such as Tebbs Hollow and Wide Hollow. Evidence of local history and land use is found at Spry Cem and the Animal Pit, located on the periphery of the Dixie National Forest. The presence of Red Wash and Three Creeks further illustrates the complex drainage patterns that have shaped this portion of the Utah plateau.
