2014 Map of Sigurd

About this map

Glenwood and Sigurd sit within a landscape defined by an intricate network of irrigation and water management, where the Sevier River valley supports a series of canals including the Piute Canal, Richfield Canal, and Vermillion Canal. The 2014 survey reveals how the local topography, featuring landmarks like Black Knoll and the Rainbow Hills, dictates the placement of settlements and transport routes. Genealogy researchers will find several local burial sites documented, such as Glenwood Cem, Sigurd Cem, and Venice Cem. To the east, the terrain rises into Kings Meadow Canyon and towards Cedar Mtn, contrasting the developed river valley with more complex upland drainage systems like Peterson Cr. The presence of the Rocky Ford Reservoir further illustrates the region's reliance on managed water resources for its community and agricultural life.
