About this map

Redmond sits at the edge of the Sevier Valley, where the agricultural landscape meets the rising elevations of the Valley Mountains. The township is defined by its sophisticated water management system, critical for desert farming, featuring the Piute Canal, Vermillion Canal, and the aptly named Little Ditch. These man-made waterways parallel the eastern slopes, drawing a sharp line between the irrigated valley floor and the arid, broken terrain to the west.

The western half of the map is dominated by high-desert geography, including Redmond Canyon, Dastrup Canyon, and Lone Cedar Canyon. Local landmarks such as Bald Knoll and the series of First Red Knoll, Second Red Knoll, and Third Red Knoll provide distinct navigational points for those tracing the boundary between Sanpete and Sevier counties. The road network, including Clarion Rd and Windy Canal Rd, follows the contours of the irrigation network and the base of the foothills.
