About this map

Bannion Spring and the surrounding high-desert landscape of western Iron County are defined by a network of critical water sources essential for survival in this arid environment. The map details a series of named outflows including Rosebud Spring, Serviceberry Spring, and the tiered Upper Trough Spring and Lower Trough Spring. Human efforts to manage these resources are evident in the Tillie Spring Pipe Line, which snakes across the terrain toward the southern extent of the Escalante Desert.

Topographical features provide a sense of the drainage patterns, with Wilson Canyon and Negro Liza Wash carving paths through the hills. Local naming conventions are captured in landmarks like Marys Hollow and the seasonal path of Tillie Cr. The infrastructure consists primarily of specialized desert routes such as the Tillie Creek Loop and Eight Mile Rd, which provide access to this corner of the Great Basin.
