About this map

The Sevier River valley and its complex network of irrigation infrastructure dominate this study of central Utah. The layout of the Richfield city grid is meticulously detailed, including the Richfield City Cem and the campus of Snow Coll. This area demonstrates a sophisticated reliance on water management, with the Piute Canal, Sevier Valley Canal, Vermillion Canal, and Richfield Canal all visible as they divert water across the desert landscape to support the small agricultural communities of Venice, Prattsville, and Gramse.

Rising to the west, the foothills of the Fishlake National Forest provide a sharp contrast to the developed valley floor. This upland area is marked by numerous trails and canyon systems, including Strawberry Canyon and Willow Creek Canyon. Evidence of early industry remains in the form of multiple segments of Old Logging Road, while recreation and modern access are noted via the Cottonwood ATV trail and several forest routes.
