1980 Map of Richfield

About this map

Richfield serves as the focal point of the Sevier River valley in this 1980 survey, where the agricultural corridors of Pavant Valley meet the rising elevations of the Fishlake National Forest. The map captures a transition between the volcanic features of Tabernacle Crater and Tabernacle Hill in the north and the deep canyons of the Pavant Range and Tushar Mountains. The transportation network is anchored by the Union Pacific and Denver and Rio Grande Western railroads, reflecting the region's importance as a transit hub between the Cricket Mountains and the high plateaus. Researchers can trace the Old Indian Reservation Boundary as it cuts across the landscape, providing a window into the historical land divisions of Millard Co and Sevier Co. Small agricultural settlements like Kanosh, Meadow, and Elsinore are well-defined, showing the enduring pattern of valley irrigation along the Sevier River and Cove Creek.
