About this map

Richfield serves as the central hub of this 2011 topographic survey, where the valley's agricultural heritage meets modern civic infrastructure. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems, including the Richfield Canal, Vermillion Canal, and Prattsville Canal, which draw from the Sevier River to support the surrounding fields. These waterways illustrate the critical engineering required to sustain settlements like Prattsville and Venice in the shadow of the western peaks.

Evidence of community life and recreation is visible at the Sevier County Fairground and the Richfield City Cemetery, while the western edge of the quadrangle rises sharply into the high country of Table Mountain. Canyons such as Willow Creek Canyon and Newts Canyon provide a stark contrast to the surveyed grid of the valley floor, showing the transition from the irrigated riverside plains to the high-elevation wilderness that borders the town.
