About this map

Baboon Peak and the high ridges of the Black Mountains dominate this 1980s landscape in Iron County. The terrain is defined by the broad expanses of Horse Valley and Little Horse Valley, which are separated by a dramatic topographical pinch point known as The Narrows. Water management and livestock history are evident through scattered features such as Marshall Pond, Baboon Seep, and a Corral, indicating a landscape utilized for ranching despite its arid character. The presence of Radio Facilities near the peak and several wells across the valleys suggests a transition toward modern infrastructure. Local drainages like Jacko Wash and Lost Spring Hollow carve through the southern slopes, providing a detailed look at the hydraulic patterns of this high-desert region before late-twentieth-century developments altered the area.
