Editing Piute County, Utah (section)

==Geography==
The [[Sevier River]] flows northward through the west-central part of Piute County, joined at Kingston by the East Branch of the Sevier. Immediately north of Kingston, it is dammed to form [[Piute Reservoir]]. Two mountain ridges lie north–south across the county. The eastern ridge runs through the east-central part of the county, and the western ridge ([[Tushar Mountains]]) runs along the county's west border, its crestline defining the county line. Otter Creek flows southward through the east part of the county; it is dammed to form [[Otter Creek Reservoir]] in the SE part of the county. Along the way it is fed by Greenwich Creek and Box Creek, draining the east face of the eastern ridge.<ref name=PCU>[https://www.google.com/maps/place/Piute+County,+UT/@38.3290569,-112.2827054,11z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x874b733e574239a1:0x1f0c0b22b88850ec!8m2!3d38.3997408!4d-112.1430215 ''Piute County UT''  Google Maps (accessed 22 March 2019)]</ref> The eastern part of the county generally slopes to the south while the west-central part of the county slopes to the north.
