About this map

Parowan sits at the foot of the Hurricane Cliffs, where the Parowan Cr emerges from its canyon to water the eastern edge of the Parowan Valley. The town's grid, centered on W Center St, reflects its long history as a regional hub, supported by infrastructure like the Parowan Airport and the nearby Parowan City Cem. This 2014 survey captures the dramatic geological transition along the Hurricane Fault, where the valley floor meets the high plateaus of the Dixie National Forest.

To the south and east, the landscape rises into a maze of named canyons and peaks, including Valentine Peak and Henderson Hill. Local landmarks like Vermillion Castle, Grand Castle, and the curious Hole in the Rock suggest a terrain defined by stark rock formations. The map traces several seasonal water sources, such as Maple Spring and Bowery Cr, which carve through deep drainages like First Left Hand Canyon and Second Left Hand Canyon.
