Selected from the Digital Public Library of America's 11 image records catalogued for this county. Every one shown here carries a public-domain status or a licence that permits reuse on a site that carries advertising; non-commercial, share-alike and restricted images are excluded. The selection is spread across the county's towns (at most eight per town), so no single institution's bulk upload crowds out the rest. Each opens the holding library's record, and the complete set at the Digital Public Library of America is one click away.

The county from the air

Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 6,893 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 48 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.

When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
September 2015	Flash Flood	Grafton	13 killed, 3 hurt, $750,000	A thunderstorm producing heavy rain moved over Hildale, Utah in the early afternoon, producing flash flooding along Short Creek and other neighboring drainages. This water flooded Highway 59, and portions of the road were closed and gated off, as this is a somewhat common occurrence for the community. However, a second strong thunderstorm trained through the area, producing very significant flooding out of Maxwell and Jans Canyons.\|\|This second flood swept across a group of 16 people who had been waiting for the initial flood waters to recede. When the second flood began, the group retreated to the two vans they had been traveling in, and the large flood swept the vans away and down the channel. Three of these people were rescued and survived, but the remaining 13 people were killed by the flood. Three of these 13 victims were women, while the remaining 10 were children under the age of 12.\|\|Property damage was also extensive across the area, including damage to water lines, area roadways, power lines, bridges, and other infrastructure. In addition, multiple private homes had flood and mud damage, while several others had minor water damage. Multiple vehicles were also destroyed in the flood.
September 2015	Flash Flood	Zion Lodge	7 killed	Multiple rounds of heavy rainfall brought flash flooding to Zion National Park, including along North Creek, but the most notable flood occurred in Keyhole Canyon. A group of seven people entered Keyhole Canyon in the early afternoon, planning to travel through the small but popular canyoneering route. Flooding in Keyhole Canyon occurred quickly; no one in the group was able to escape the canyon or get to higher ground, and the flood killed all seven individuals. The seven victims were between 51 and 59 years old.
July 1998	Flash Flood	Zion National Park	2 killed	no account filed
August 2022	Flash Flood	Zion Lodge	1 killed, 1 hurt	Flows increased on the North Fork of the Virgin River in Zion National Park. The trail became impassable near the mouth of The Narrows. Flood waters in The Narrows swept some hikers off their feet and isolated others on higher ground. Two people were swept downstream. One was swept a couple of hundred yards and found. The individual survived with minor injuries. The other was reported as missing to Zion National Park officials later that evening, and was found deceased the following Monday. The North Fork Virgin - Springdale river gauge, which is downstream from The Narrows, rose from approximately 75 cfs to 735 cfs, corresponding to a rise of slightly over 2 feet in height.
September 2014	Flash Flood	Zion National Park	1 killed, $350,000	Flooding was again widespread across Washington County, with floods reported in Enterprise, Ivins, Santa Clara, St. George, and Springdale, among others. Most rivers and washes in the area experienced flooding, with particularly high flows in the Beaver Dam Wash and the Virgin River. Rock and mud slides were common across the area, temporarily closing several highways across the county. Flooding also occurred across much of Zion National Park, with the park closing for a period of time due to flooding and debris on roadways. This flooding included in the popular Narrows section of the park, where two hikers were stranded by the flood waters; one of the hikers escaped to safety, but the other, a 34-year-old male, died in the flood. \|\|In Enterprise, many roadways flooded, and a few businesses were damaged by flood waters. In Ivins, a few homes near 600 S and 400 W experienced flooding. In St. George, damage was most severe at the Southgate Golf Course, with the majority of holes inundated with water.
August 2012	Flash Flood	Pintura	1 killed	Flash flooding occurred along La Verkin Creek on the evening of August 1st, with significant rises in the water level. At the same time, a 2-year-old girl was noticed missing from her home in the city of La Verkin, which was close to the creek. The girl passed away when she drowned in the Creek, and her body was found a couple hours after she had been reported missing.
May 2001	Flash Flood	Zion National Park	1 killed	A 10-year-old boy was killed and his 5-year-old brother had to be rescued as a burst of heavy rain at Zion National Park caused flash flooding. The boy was hiking with his family when the storm came through. The boy and his brother ran ahead and reached a part of the trail where water was flowing across. They attempted to cross in the narrow canyon but were swept away. The older boy was swept over the ledge falling more than 100 feet, while the younger boy was able to hold onto a tree before being rescued.
January 1997	Flash Flood	St George	11 hurt, $5,000,000	no account filed

October 2010	Lightning	Santa Clara	2 hurt	Two 17 year old males were struck by lightning just outside Snow Canyon High School in St. George. The two boys were waiting for a ride home shortly after school let out; they took shelter from the rain under a nearby tree, where lightning struck and injured them both. CPR was performed at the site, and they were both in critical condition when they reached a hospital in Las Vegas, but both survived and are expected to make a full recovery.
December 2010	Flood	Goldstrike	$19,700,000	Heavy rain caused widespread significant flooding across Washington County. Rainfall and significantly increased river flows began on December 19th, with many rivers and streams around Zion National Park and St. George near bankfull. Reports of road flooding began on December 20th. SR-9 was closed in Zion National Park due to flooding between the tunnel and Mt. Carmel Junction, and flooding and rockslides occurred on SR-18 between Enterprise and Central.\|\|The worst of the flooding occurred on December 21st, when the flow of the Santa Clara River increased to an estimated 5000 cfs, and the Virgin River near Bloomington was measured at 12400 cfs. Zion National Park was closed due to flooding, and the Zion Park Lodge was evacuated due to the danger of landslides. One historic landslide, in particular, was moving through the day as the riprap structure was eroded away. Old Highway 91 was also closed, as flooding and debris washed out and damaged much of the road. Many other roadways across the county were flooded, including many roads in the city of St. George, many rural roads along the Santa Clara, SR-18 south of Central, in Enterprise along Center Street and Main Street, and the road into Snow Canyon State Park, which closed the park to tourists. Many bridges were damaged or destroyed, including the foot bridge over the Fort Pearce Wash, the Tobin Wash Bridge near Gunlock, a foot bridge at the Sunbrook Golf Course, the bridge at 2500 South in New Harmony, and the bridge at Brookside. Residential flood damage was reported in Enterprise, Springdale, Rockville, and St. George. Contaminated water became a problem along the Virgin River, and culinary water became unavailable in the town of Gunlock. The Southgate Golf Course in St. George suffered extensive damage due to erosion.\|\|Flooding continued on December 22nd. Flood waters damaged a bridge in New Harmony Heights, closed many roadways including a bridge near the Enterprise Reservoir, and up to 15 homes were damaged to varying degrees in Brookside. River flows stayed high on December 23rd before receding.\|\|Damage estimates were obtained from the Utah Emergency Management Association, and included damages of $4.7 million to infrastructure and $15 million to other properties. In addition, $300,000 worth of heavy construction equipment was saved when the NWS forecast office in Salt Lake City called the Washington City Public Works, notifying of them of the upcoming high flows expected on the Virgin River. The Public Works pulled all of their equipment out of the Virgin River, which they said would have been swept away and lost if not for the phone call.
September 2012	Flash Flood	Santa Clara	$7,500,000	An extended period of moderate to heavy rainfall occurred in southwest Utah on the morning of September 11th, during which 3.24 inches of rainfall was measured in Ivins, Utah.
