About this map

Dixie National Forest covers the complex drainage networks of this region, where deep canyons and high benches define the landscape. The intricate network of seasonal waterways including Limekiln Creek and its various forks feed into larger features like Casto Canyon. Notable for its connection to regional lore, the map details Butch Cassidy Draw in the southeast, alongside several springs such as Bill Pinney Spring and Casto Springs that provided vital water sources in this arid environment.

Transport through the area is marked by numerous trails and forest roads, including the Fremont Atv Trail and the historic Cassidy Trail, which weave through terrain named after local families and geography like Clark Bench and Hancock Flat. The map provides a clear look at the topography between Black Mtn and Barney Cove, documenting the relationship between these landforms and the trails that navigate the steep descents into Losee Canyon and Hancock Canyon.
