2020 Map of Piute Reservoir

About this map

The town of Junction sits at the southern edge of Marysvale Valley, where the confluence of local drainages meets the Piute Reservoir. This landscape is defined by the high-elevation transition from the Tushar Mountains in the west to the water-managed lowlands of the Sevier River. The reservoir itself is a central feature, bordered by the E Side Piute Reservoir road and Piute State Park Rd, reflecting the region's importance for irrigation and recreation. Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of Harris Cem and Howes Cem well-documented among the various gulches and canyons. The presence of the Junction Airport and the boundary of the Fishlake National Forest highlight the mix of modern infrastructure and protected public lands. The map also captures several distinctive geological features like Bellyache Canyon and The Elbow, alongside the winding paths of Manning Cr and Tenmile Cr.
