About this map

The Hurricane Fault cuts a dramatic geological line through this section of Iron County, separating the high desert floor from the complex verticality of the Hurricane Cliffs. At the base of these heights, the settlement of Summit serves as a central point for the surrounding agricultural and ranching lands of the Parowan Valley. To the northeast, the outskirts of Parowan are visible, while the southwest corner of the map captures the edge of Enoch.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Summit City Cem north of the main townsite, along with several family-named topographical features such as Elliker Basin and Clarks Canyon. The landscape is defined by the transition from the sharp rises of Cedar Peak and Spirit Peak to the more open ranges near Red Hills. Numerous water sources, including Deer Spring and Cheney Spring, underscore the vital role of water management in this arid Utah environment.
