2010 Map of Burnt Peak

About this map

The Hurricane Cliffs dominate the northwestern corner of this high-desert landscape, where the dramatic elevation change transitions into the broad expanse of Sagebrush Flat. This 2010 survey of Iron County highlights a region defined by its complex drainage network and isolated peaks. Water is the primary sculptor here, with Middle Spring Wash cutting a diagonal path across the center, supported by numerous smaller features like North Spring, Robb Spring, and Middle Spring. To the east, the topography rises toward Burnt Peak and Showalter Mountain. The road network is sparse, centered on the historic Freemont Rd and North Swell Rd, reflecting a landscape utilized for livestock grazing and land management rather than dense settlement. The presence of Big Swamp Springs and Cox Springs in the eastern valleys suggests critical water sources in an otherwise arid basin.
