2023 Map of Santa Clara

About this map

Santa Clara and Ivins sit at the edge of the Mojave Desert, where the suburban growth of southwestern Utah meets the dramatic geology of the Red Mountains. This modern survey illustrates the complex relationship between water and settlement in an arid landscape, tracing the Upper Santa Clara Bench Canal as it winds across the Santa Clara Bench to support the local agricultural heritage. To the north, the Red Mountain Wilderness and the deep incision of Snow Canyon dominate the terrain, providing a stark contrast to the gridded developments of St. George appearing in the southeast. Genealogists and local historians can find several important sites, including the Santa Clara Cem and Ivins City Cem, while features like Wittwer Canyon and Land Hill preserve the family names and natural landmarks that have long defined this community.
