South of the town of Alamo, the run-off from White 50 River flows into an idyllic, pastoral, 50 acre lake. 6 This lake is called Upper Pahranagat Lake and is just over 2 miles long and a half mile wide. It is encircled with beautiful shade trees, brush and grasses. The surrounding land is designated as a National Wildlife Preserve and the area has become a permanent home for birds such as duck, geese, quail, blue herons, and many varieties of smaller birds. Migrating birds include swans and pelicans 19 that pass through in winter and spring. The overflow from the Upper Pahranagat Lake is carried downstream about 4 miles to Lower Pahranagat Lake. This lake is slightly less than a mile and a half long and about a half mile wide. Fishing in early spring and summer is excellent. During the summer months, water is used for irrigation and reduces the 18 level of both lakes. 17 16 Ursine 2 Pioche 15 13 322 Alamo–A Historic Pahranagat Valley Town 318 12 14 Continue north about 4 miles from Upper Pahranagat 11 Lake or south 9 miles from Ash Springs on U.S. 93 to 10 9 319 Panaca the historic town of Alamo.

  • MARKERS and MONUMENTS of WASHINGTON COUNTY, UTAH List Gathered and Prepared by Daughters of Utah Pioneers (2010)
    MARKERS AND MONUMENTS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, UTAH List Gathered and Prepared by Daughters of Utah Pioneers (2010) The Daughters of Utah Pioneers (DUP) is committed to preserving the heritage of our Pioneer ancestors who settled in Washington County, Utah. Part of preserving that heritage is in identifying historical locations and activities of those early settlers. The DUP has actively participated, along with many other groups, in establishing monuments and/or plaques designating specific communities, people, buildings, etc. This list has been compiled from up-dated information gathered during two Eagle Scout Projects, from data received from other organizations, and from various websites. It is not expected to be a final project, but is intended to be complete enough that it can be added to, or corrected as necessary, to become a comprehensive and current listing of all the wonderful monuments available for descendants as well as visitors to the area to see and enjoy, and to remember the legacy left to us in providing this beautiful area called “Dixie”.
