About this map

Santa Clara and Ivins occupy the southern reaches of this landscape, positioned along the critical waterway of the Santa Clara River. This 2014 survey captures the suburban expansion of the St. George area, where modern residential street networks like The Reserve and Entrada Trl meet the older agricultural and pioneer foundations of the valley. The terrain is defined by dramatic volcanic and sandstone formations, notably the North Black Rocks and the deep incision of Snow Canyon to the north.

Local history is preserved at the Santa Clara City Cem and near Winter Quarters, while the hydrology of the arid region is managed through the Ivins Reservoir Ivins Bench Reservoir and the Santa Clara Reservoir. The map illustrates the transition from the basalt-capped Santa Clara Bench down into the northern fringes of the Mojave Desert, showing how contemporary development navigates the natural constraints of Graveyard Wash and the Red Mountains.
