About this map

Buckhorn Flat and the adjacent Parowan Valley define this high-elevation landscape in Iron County, where the transition from flat basin to steep mountain terrain is sharply marked by the Hurricane Cliffs. The topography is etched by seasonal watercourses like Lees Spring Wash and Fremont Wash, which flow from the southern reaches of the Black Mountains.

Modern infrastructure and historic land use are evident in features such as the CCC Pond, a namesake of the Civilian Conservation Corps era, and the extensive network of ranch and access roads including Buckhorn Way and the Bone Hollow Springs Pipeline. Landmarks like Swayback Knoll and Muley Point provide distinct navigational points across the rugged draws of Bone Hollow and Little Valley Hollow, while active water sources like Buckhorn Spring continue to serve this arid interior.
