2020 Map of Avon NW

About this map

The Escalante Desert dominates this arid landscape in Iron County, where transportation corridors define the modern human footprint. The northern portion of the map is marked by the Lund Hwy and the private Sun Valley Estates Airport, indicating the specialized development patterns of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. In the south, the prominent rise of Table Butte provides a distinct geological landmark against the surrounding plains. The drainage systems of Fourmile Wash and Dick Palmer Wash cut through the terrain, while the naming of the Bulloch RR Xing and Bulloch RR Xing Alt suggests the importance of livestock or agricultural access points to the regional rail infrastructure that once served this high-desert environment.
