About this map

Iron Springs and the surrounding mining district dominate this corner of the Iron County landscape, where the extraction history is visible through scattered workings like the Great Western Mine and the Vermillion Mine. The terrain transitions from the high points of Granite Mountain and Swett Peak down to the low drainage of Quichapa Lake and the marshy area known as The Bottoms.

Settlement patterns follow the local hydrology and industrial needs, from the southern outpost of Hamiltons Fort to the small community of Halivah. Transportation is defined by the intersection of Iron Springs Rd and Desert Mound Rd, serving a network of mines including the Lindsay Hill Mine and Armstrong Mine. This layout illustrates the area's dual character as both a mineral resource hub and a high-desert watershed fed by Iron Springs Creek and Shirts Creek.
