2023 Map of Bannion Spring

About this map

The Indian Peak Range dominates the northern half of this Iron County landscape, where the terrain transitions from steep ridges into the wide, flat expanse of the Escalante Desert. This high-desert environment is characterized by a network of essential water sources including Bannion Spring, Rosebud Spring, and Serviceberry Spring, which would have been critical markers for travelers and ranchers in this remote corner of Utah. The infrastructure of the area is largely defined by the Tillie Spring Pipe Line and several primitive roads like Eight Mile Rd. Notable landforms such as Wilson Canyon and Marys Hollow segment the foothills, while drainage features like Negro Liza Wash and Tillie Creek illustrate the natural flow of seasonal water toward the basin. The map provides a clear record of the relationship between the rugged upland topography and the desert floor below.
