1971 Map of Parowan Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Petroglyphs near The Narrows mark the entrance to a natural geological corridor through the Red Hills in Iron County. This 1971 survey captures the arid landscape north of Cedar City, where the low-lying basin of Little Salt Lake defines the eastern edge of the Parowan Valley. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage features like Jackrabbit Wash and Long Hollow, which cut through the uplifted ridges of Long Hill. Small-scale resource extraction is evident through scattered Prospects and a Borrow Pit near the gap. Water sources, vital in this desert environment, are documented at Lister Spring and Dipping Vat Spring, the latter suggesting historical livestock usage in the canyons. The map tracks several Jeep Trails that navigate the high ground between Coal Canyon and Whitney Canyon, providing a detailed view of the area's topography before modern development altered the valley floor.
