2014 Map of Paragonah

About this map

Paragonah sits at the foot of the Hurricane Cliffs in this modern topographic study of Iron County. The settlement pattern reflects the traditional grid of the Parowan Valley, where irrigation and water management are central to the landscape as seen through the courses of Red Cr and Little Cr. The survey illustrates the transition from the high elevations of Jackrabbit Mtn and the Red Hills down to the agricultural flats around Wheatgrass. Significant local infrastructure is noted, including the Flying Cal-Ute Rancheros Airport and the centrally located Paragonah Cem. The map provides detailed placement for several seasonal water features like Slough Wash and Kane Spring Wash, which drain from the rugged northern heights toward the valley floor, defining the character of places like Chimney Meadow and Slough Bench.
