2020 Map of Parowan

About this map

Parowan sits at the base of the Hurricane Cliffs, where the valley floor meets the dramatic rise of the Markagunt Plateau. This geography is defined by the Hurricane Fault, which creates a sharp transition between the agricultural lands of Parowan Valley and the steep, wooded terrain of the Dixie National Forest. Within the town grid, the Parowan City Cemetery and the Parowan Airport serve as central landmarks, while the surrounding canyons are marked by distinct geological formations such as Vermillion Castle, Noahs Ark, and Grand Castle. To the south, Yankee Meadows Reservoir provides a significant water feature within the forest boundaries, while the First Mound archaeological site in the valley highlights the long history of human habitation in this corridor along Old US Hwy 91.
