About this map

The Sevier River valley serves as the central corridor for this 2017 study, where the border of Sanpete and Sevier counties meets. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure including the Vermillion Canal, Rocky Ford Canal, and Highland Canal, which support the agricultural settlements of Centerfield, Axtell, and Redmond. This complex water system, including the S Extension Old Field Canal, illustrates the long-term human effort to manage the arid environment east of the White Hills.

Local heritage is anchored by several rural burial grounds such as Centerfield Cem, Axtell Cem, and Redmond Cem. The presence of the Salina-Gunnison Airport and the 3500 Redmond Switch Rd highlights the modern transportation links that parallel older water routes like Willow Cr and Olsen Slough. From the developed residential blocks of the towns to the Willow Cr Reservoir at the base of the eastern slopes, the map provides a clear view of the valley's managed hydrology.
