1972 Map of Veyo

About this map

Veyo sits at the junction of several distinct geological features, most notably the prominent Veyo Volcano and the surrounding basaltic terrain. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Santa Clara River, which is supplemented by an extensive Aqueduct system feeding into the Upper Sand-Cove Reservoir and Lower Sand-Cove Res. These water management features, along with a Power Plant near the Falls, underscore the era's reliance on controlled irrigation and hydroelectric potential in this arid corner of Washington County. To the south and east, the transition from the high Long Ridge to the protected canyonlands is marked by the boundaries of Snow Canyon State Park and the Dixie National Forest. ThePresence of a Cinder Pit near the river suggests local extractive industry, while the broad Tobin Bench and Diamond Valley provide context for the local topography used by ranchers and early settlers.
