1885 Map of St. George

About this map

St. George and its surrounding river settlements anchor this late-nineteenth-century survey, revealing a landscape of pioneer outposts and mining camps. The settlement patterns follow the vital water sources of the Santa Clara Creek and Virgin City, where towns like Washington, Santa Clara, and the now-diminished Heberville were established. The map documents the early mining era of the region, specifically at Silver Reef and Iron City, highlighting the industrial draw of the Iron Mountains.
