About this map

The Escalante Desert dominates this corner of Iron County, presenting a landscape defined by its wide basins and sudden topographic shifts. In the southwestern quadrant, the Antelope Range rises sharply, creating a distinct boundary between the high ground and the desert floor. This area is characterized by a network of intermittent drainage features, including Big Hollow Wash and Dick Palmer Wash, which channel seasonal water toward Iron Springs Creek.

Land management and access are recorded through a series of numbered section lines and rural thoroughfares such as Avon Rd and Wiliat Rd. Notable landmarks for navigation include Tucker Point and Upper Point, which serve as visual anchors in the vast terrain. The presence of Water Hole Loop W and Water Hole Loop E suggests the historical importance of localized water sources for grazing or transit in this arid region.
