2020 Map of Sutherland

About this map

The Sevier Desert defines the landscape of this region in Millard County, where a complex network of man-made irrigation channels supports small agricultural settlements. The town of Abraham sits at a central crossroads, while Sutherland lies to the southeast near the Sutherland Cem. This modern survey reveals how water management has transformed the arid basin, with features like the Little Abraham Canal, Wilson Canal, and Reid Canal cutting across the geometric grid of county roads. Further north, the settlement of Sugarville is situated near the Desert Aviation Airport, illustrating the sparse but organized habitation pattern of the desert floor. The intricate system of named ditches, including Henrie Ditch and Tolbert Ditch, underscores the vital role of the Sevier River's distribution in maintaining these remote Utah communities.
