About this map

Parowan serves as the focal point for this high-desert valley landscape, situated at the base of the massive Hurricane Cliffs. The town's grid is well-defined, featuring the Parowan High Sch, a local Cem, and recreation-oriented features like the Race Track and City Airport. Beyond the settlement, the terrain rises sharply into the Dixie National Forest, where steep canyons such as Dry Canyon and Left Hand Canyon cut through the uplifted rock.

Hydrological management is evident throughout the Parowan Valley, from the Sewage Disposal Ponds and local Aqueduct to the Yankee Meadows Reservoir in the higher elevations. Cultural landmarks like P Hill and the distinctive Valentine Peak overlook the valley, while family-named sites such as Hyatt Canyon and Billy West Canyon suggest the history of ranching and land use that shaped this corner of Iron County.
