About this map

Park Valley is the central hub of this northern Utah landscape, situated in a high-elevation valley where the drainage of numerous canyons meets the basin floor. The settlement pattern is defined by large agricultural holdings, including the C-Bar Ranch and Hershey Ranch, and a grid of rural roads like Board Ranch Rd. For genealogists, the map provides a clear distinction between the Park Valley Cemetery and the Park Valley Pioneer Cemetery, offering important spatial clues for local family history research.

The physical geography is dominated by the complex hydrology of the surrounding heights. Watercourses such as Cotton Creek and Indian Creek descend from a series of northern ravines, including Quaking Aspen Canyon, Little Rocky Canyon, and the three forks of Dunn Canyon. Significant topographical markers like Chicken Ridge and Bald Knoll frame the valley, illustrating the transition from steep canyon terrain to the open lands where regional life has centered for generations.
