2014 Map of White Hills

About this map

The Virgin River and Santa Clara River converge in this arid corridor of Washington County, documenting the landscape just south of Santa Clara and St. George in the mid-2010s. The map illustrates a transition from suburban residential developments like Malaga Ave and S Village Rd to the open terrain of the Mojave Desert. The topography is defined by significant washes and ridges, including Box Canyon and the South Hills. Local land use is reflected in features like the Curley Hollow Reservoir and the uniquely named Blakes Lambing Grounds. The southern portion of the sheet remains largely undeveloped, characterized by the First Narrows and the prominent overlook at Starvation Point, providing a clear view of the natural drainage patterns that have shaped this portion of the White Hills.
