About this map

The Black Mountains and the eastern fringes of the Escalante Desert define this high-altitude landscape in Iron County. Dominating the central topography is Badger Peak, part of a complex of summits including the Hot Springs Peaks and Twin Peaks. The drainage patterns here are distinct, with water flowing through Wood Canyon, First Canyon, Second Canyon, and Third Canyon toward the desert floor. To the south, The Neck forms a narrow topographical transition near Mule Peak and Monument Peak.

Human presence is marked primarily by infrastructure for land management and historical communication. The Old Telephone Pole Line cuts across the southeastern portion of the map, while the The Neck Cutoff 2 Alt and Lost Spring Rd provide access to remote outposts like Mud Spring Bench and Blue Knoll. Water sources are critical in this arid environment, represented by Hot Springs Canyon Pond and Mud Springs N Spr.
