2019 Map of Parshall

About this map

The Colorado River carves through the landscape of Grand County, passing through the sheer walls of Byers Canyon before reaching the settlement of Parshall. This area is defined by its complex water management infrastructure, where historical irrigation systems like Musgrave Ditch, Pheney Lateral Ditch, and Big Lake Ditch divert water across the high-elevation terrain. South of the townsite, the Williams Fork expands into the significant Williams Fork Reservoir, a major feature of the regional hydrology that has altered the local valley. To the northeast, Mt Bross stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the confluence. The mapping of Fisherman's Trail along the river highlights the area's long-standing connection to outdoor recreation, while the Po in town serves as the central hub for this rural community nestled between the river and the reservoir.
