1985 Map of Strong

About this map

The Sevier River winds through this arid landscape of Millard County, defining the local geography as it feeds into the DMAD Reservoir. This mid-1980s provisional survey illustrates the complex water management system of the region, featuring the Central Utah Canal, a Spillway, and an Abandoned Canal that speaks to shifting irrigation patterns. Near the settlement of Strong, the terrain transitions from the distinct Sand Dunes in the northwest to the low-lying Oak Creek Sinks in the southeast. Evidence of local utility and infrastructure is visible through the presence of a Gaging Station, several Tanks, and a Gravel Pit. The map also delineates an Airport boundary and the expansive Taylors Flat, providing a detailed view of how this desert environment was utilized for both resource management and transportation during this era.
