About this map

The Tushar Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape in eastern Iron County, Utah, where sharp dramatic relief meets broad alpine basins. The terrain is defined by the massive Hurricane Cliffs to the west and the towering presence of Burnt Peak and Showalter Mtn to the south. This area serves as a critical watershed, evidenced by the numerous springs and drainages including Fremont Spring, Middle Spring, and the network of the Buckskin Wash.

Logistical access through these remote heights relies on a series of specialized routes like the Burnt Peak Rd and Buckskin Power Line Rd, which traverse the high plateaus of Sagebrush Flat and Coyote Bench. The geography transitions from the flat expanse of Buckskin Valley into the steep recesses of Sackett Hollow and Pole Canyon, illustrating the complex geology at the edge of the Colorado Plateau.
