2014 Map of Burnt Peak

About this map

Hurricane Cliffs dominate the western edge of this Iron County landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into a complex network of canyons and washes. The topographic detail highlights a region defined by water scarcity and seasonal drainage, anchored by the prominence of Burnt Peak and Anderson Mtn in the north. A web of unpaved tracks, including Freemont Rd and Buckskin Valley Rd, provides the only access through the alternating flats and breaks. Cultural and hydrological markers such as Lees Spring Wash, Lake Hollow, and Big Swamp Springs indicate the vital, albeit sparse, water sources that have historically supported ranching and transit across Buckskin Valley. From the broad expanse of Sagebrush Flat to the confined depths of Sackett Hollow, the map documents a geography where land use is dictated by the rise and fall of the high plateau.
