1986 Map of Santa Clara

About this map

Snow Canyon State Park dominates the eastern corridor of this Utah landscape, revealing a transition from the basaltic flows of the North Black Rocks and South Black Rocks to the elevation of the Red Mountains. The town of Ivins is depicted just east of its namesake Ivins Res, showing its mid-1980s street grid and proximity to the Santa Clara Bench. To the south, the Santa Clara River winds through the valley, anchoring the historic settlement of Santa Clara and extending toward the northwestern edge of St George. The presence of a Graveyard near the river and named terrain like Land Hill and Wittwer Canyon highlights the long-standing agricultural and ranching heritage of this corner of Washington County, where the desert washes and rocky outcrops dictated the patterns of early development.
