About this map

Badger Peak stands as the central landmark in this 2014 survey of the southern Black Mountains, where the high terrain of Hot Springs Peaks meets the eastern margins of the Escalante Desert. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent summits, including Twin Peaks and Monument Peak, which rise above a complex system of drainage canyons. Among these are the numerically sequenced First Canyon, Second Canyon, and Third Canyon, cutting through the western slopes toward the desert floor.

Evidence of local hydrology and infrastructure appears in the lower elevations, specifically at the Mud Spring Bench and along Mud Spring Wash. The presence of Hot Springs Canyon Pond and named transit routes like Schoppmann Rd and Mud Springs Shopman Alt indicate the practical intersections of water access and remote travel. This map records the topographical character of Iron County during a period of modern geospatial documentation, detailing the land's transition from volcanic peaks to arid basin flats.
