About this map

Bible Spring and several other groundwater sources sustain life across this arid stretch of the Indian Peak Range in Iron County. The landscape is defined by its deep drainages and high vantage points, including the prominent North Peaks and the striking White Cliff. Historically, the movement of livestock and people followed the natural contours of the land, evidenced by the presence of Butcher Meadow and the winding Mountain Spring Wash.

Remote canyons such as Sawmill Canyon and Rustlers Draw hint at early industry and the transit of goods through the high country. Primitive routes like Pine Valley Rd and 8 Mile Rd provide the only modern access through these corridors, while labels such as The Movies suggest more contemporary local landmarks. This survey provides a record of these vital water points, including Lone Pine Spring and the curiously named Typhoid Spring, which were essential for survival in the high desert.
