2011 Map of Santa Clara

About this map

Ivins and Santa Clara anchor this southwestern Utah landscape, showcasing the modern residential expansion at the edge of the St George metropolitan area. The topography is defined by the volcanic and sandstone formations of the Red Mountains and Snow Canyon, where the Snow Canyon Campground provides a gateway to the arid terrain. Water management is a central theme of the local geography, visible through the course of the Santa Clara River and the Ivins Bench Dam, which supports the elevated Santa Clara Bench. Significant local landmarks include the Santa Clara City Cemetery and the intriguing nomenclature of Hellhole and Graveyard Wash. This survey captures a moment of suburban development as new thoroughfares like Pioneer Pkwy and S Tuacahn Pkwy integrate the residential centers with the surrounding geological features like North Black Rocks and Land Hill.
