About this map

Juab Valley serves as a central corridor through this section of Sanpete County, illustrating the hydraulic management essential to the high desert. The map documents the significant footprint of the Chicken Creek Reservoir and its associated Chicken Creek Dam at the northern edge, while the northern tip of the Sevier Bridge Reservoir anchors the southwest corner. These water features contrast with the arid, corrugated terrain of The Washboard and the prominent elevations of Skinner Peaks.

The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including Little Salt Creek and Chriss Creek, which wind through the foothills of the South Hills and Cedar Ridge. Transportation history is represented by Old Botham Rd, a distinct route cutting across the valley floor. The geography here showcases a classic Basin and Range interface where mountain canyons like Chriss Canyon spill into the broad alluvial reaches of the valley.
