Fremont Wash was originally known as North Canyon Creek for the North Canyon from which it issued into the Parowan Valley at
Muley Point.[3] North Canyon consisted of what is now Fremont Canyon and the valley of Fremont Wash between the
Black Mountains and
Hurricane Cliffs to Muley Point.
On the
Mormon Road, the camp on North Canyon Creek, given the mileage recorded by Addison Pratt, was 27.5 miles south of the ford on the Beaver River.[3] Captain Marcy's Prairie Traveler said it was in "...
Little Salt Lake Valley, Good grass; no wood."[4] That would put it near
Wheatgrass, Utah just above the
Little Salt Lake.[5]
