Grafton and Rockville anchor the river valley on this modern study of southwestern Utah's canyon country. The Virgin River carves a central path through the landscape, flanked by significant landmarks such as Grafton Mesa and the Rockville Bench. To the east, the gateway to Zion National Park is marked by the high elevations of The West Temple and Mt Kinesava. Genealogists will find the locations of the Grafton Cem, Rockville Cem, and Springdale Cem preserved here, serving as quiet markers of the early agricultural communities that took root along the river. The map also records the precise terrain of the Petrified Forest and the Obert C Tanner Amphitheater, illustrating the transition from agricultural valley floor to the dramatic vertical formations of Zion Canyon.
