2017 Map of Virgin

About this map

The Virgin River carves through this southwestern Utah corridor, anchoring a landscape where the small settlement of Virgin sits amidst dramatic topographical shifts. The map illustrates a high-desert environment defined by massive plateaus and deep drainage systems, including Cornelius Wash and Dalton Wash. High above the river valley, the flat-topped expanses of Hurricane Mesa and Gooseberry Mesa dominate the horizon. This 2017 survey reflects the area's modern identity as a hub for outdoor recreation, featuring an extensive network of named paths such as the Hurricane Rim Trail, JEM Trail, and Flying Monkey Trail. For those looking further back, the map identifies the Virgin Cem and the location of Duncan's Retreat, providing valuable markers for local genealogy and historical geography. The road network, including Kolob Reservoir Rd and Saint Dirt Rd, shows how accessibility has evolved around these traditional river settlements.
