2023 Map of Pintura

About this map

Silver Reef and the nearby town of Leeds sit at the southern edge of this landscape, where the historic mining district meets the modern travel corridors of Washington County. The area is defined by sharp elevation shifts, from the heights of the Dixie National Forest and Pine Valley Mountain Wilderness in the west to the dramatic drop of the Hurricane Cliffs in the east. Central to the map is the path of Ash Creek, which flows south toward Toquerville, paralleled by the primary highway and Old US Hwy 91. Small family landmarks like the Anderson Family Cem and Peters Cem near Pintura offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing early settlement patterns along the old road. The terrain transitions from the alluvial Sandy Flat to the broken ground of the Blackridge Wilderness, illustrating the complex geology of the region.
