Southern Utah Regional Office

The Utah Geological Survey’s Southern Utah Regional Office is located in Cedar City and serves Washington, Iron, Beaver, Garfield, Wayne, Piute, and Kane Counties. In response to rapid growth in the area, the office’s principal focus is on geologic hazards, water-resource projects, mineral and energy resource evaluations, and providing assistance to cities, towns, counties and other local government agencies on issues or projects where geology is a concern. The office also provides a local contact for those interested in additional UGS information and services including paleontological resources, geologic mapping, teacher/educational outreach, geologic databases, and map and publication availability.
