About this map

Parowan sits at the base of a dramatic mountain front where the high plateaus of southern Utah meet the valley floor. This 2011 survey illustrates a community deeply tied to its geography, with the grid-patterned streets of the town center buffered by Parowan Creek as it emerges from the narrow Parowan Canyon. The landscape to the south and east is a complex network of named drainages including First Left Hand Canyon and Free Thought Canyon, leading toward high-elevation features like Yankee Meadows Reservoir.

Evidence of local recreation and resource management is found throughout the canyons, from the Vermillion Castle Campground to the Yankee Meadows Dam. Notable landmarks such as Valentine Peak and Noahs Ark dominate the skyline, while the valley floor supports the Parowan Airport and the Parowan City Cemetery. These features, combined with the detailed street labeling from W Center St to E 7th North St, provide a clear picture of this regional hub's modern layout and its historic mountain access points.
