2020 Map of Parowan Gap

About this map

Parowan Gap serves as a prominent geological pass through the Red Hills, connecting the arid elevations to the northwest with the broader Parowan Valley to the southeast. This 2020 edition documents the contemporary trail and road network that navigates the complex terrain, including the Jackrabbit Wash Trl and the Gravel Pit Loop. The landscape is defined by its seasonal water sources, such as Lister Spring and Dipping Vat Spring, which reflect the historic and ongoing importance of water management in this high-desert environment. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the margins of the Little Salt Lake basin. Notable topographical features like The Narrows, Coal Canyon, and Little Gap highlight the broken character of the hills, providing a clear record of the area's natural corridors used by travelers and livestock for generations.
