2011 Map of Wales

About this map

The town of Wales sits on the eastern edge of the San Pitch Mountains, overlooking a drainage network that feeds the San Pitch River. This 2011 survey documents the transition from the high ridges of Big Mountain and Horse Mountain down to the valley floor, where the landscape is carved by deep geographic features such as Wales Canyon, Petes Canyon, and Coal Canyon. The settlement pattern follows the base of the mountains, with Wales Cemetery and residential streets like W 100 S marking the established local community. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by Reservoir Rd and the various forks and creeks, including Chicken Creek and Peach Canyon Creek, which navigate the steep descent from the peaks into the agricultural valley below.
