About this map

Parowan sits at the edge of the Parowan Valley, where the steep rise of the Hurricane Cliffs meets the basin floor. This 2017 survey shows the city's grid-patterned streets extending toward the Parowan City Cem and the Parowan Airport, while the Hurricane Fault traces a sharp geological boundary just east of town. The landscape transitions abruptly from the valley's irrigation and infrastructure to the high, complex drainages of the Markagunt Plateau.

Deep in the Dixie National Forest, the map reveals a wilderness of named peaks and canyons, including Valentine Peak and the striking formations of Vermillion Castle and Grand Castle. Recreational and natural resources are evident in the southeast, where Yankee Meadows Reservoir is reached by a network of forest routes like Bowery Creek Rd and the Henderson Hill Trail, providing a detailed look at the rugged topography of southern Utah.
