2023 Map of Antelope Peak

About this map

Antelope Peak stands as the dominant high point in this corner of Iron County, anchoring a landscape where high desert basins meet prominent mountain ridges. The transition from the flat expanse of the Escalante Valley and the Escalante Desert to the rising elevations of the Antelope Range is sharply defined by topographic contours. Water sources are scarce and notable in this arid environment, marked by isolated points such as Antelope Springs and Rock Spring, which likely served as critical landmarks for travelers and ranchers. The northern portion of the quadrangle is punctuated by Table Butte, while the southeastern corner features the rugged formations of Three Peaks. Evidence of the region's drainage patterns and geological history is visible in features like Chloride Canyon and Urie Hollow, illustrating the complex erosion that has shaped these interior basins of Utah.
