1971 Map of Buckhorn Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Water sources define the settlement and grazing potential of Buckhorn Flat in this early 1970s survey. Located within the Parowan Valley, the landscape is dotted with critical infrastructure for ranching, including the Goodman Well, Government Well, and several Flowing Wells. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of the Black Mountains and Shimhi in the west toward the imposing Hurricane Cliffs to the east. Several named landmarks such as Muley Point and Swayback Knoll rise above the flat, while drainage follows systems like Fremont Wash and Lees Wash. Evidence of land management is visible through the CCC Pond and a network of Jeep Trails that navigate through Little Valley and Dennis Hollow. These features reflect a mid-century reliance on managed groundwater and established livestock routes across the Iron County desert.
