About this map

Willard and Perry sit at the foot of the Wasatch Range, where the steep mountain canyons meet the edge of the Willard Bay Reservoir. This 2011 survey illustrates the complex relationship between the residential core and the engineered shoreline, featuring the North Recreation Area and Willard Bay North Marina Campground. The drainage from the highlands is managed through features like the Perry Canal and Black Slough, which navigate the transitional zone between the townships and the water.

Local historians can trace the community's roots through three distinct burial grounds: the Willard Pioneer Cemetery, Willard City Cemetery, and Perry Cemetery. The topographical contrast is sharp, with the map transitioning from the low-lying Reeder Overflow to the deep-cut terrain of Willard Canyon, Hargis Canyon, and Mathias Canyon. The presence of Perry Siding indicates the area's continued reliance on the transport corridor between the mountains and the bay.
