About this map

The Zion National Park Boundary cuts across the southwestern corner of this survey, marking the transition from protected parklands to the high-elevation plateaus of the Dixie National Forest area. The landscape is defined by massive topographic features and drainage systems, including the prominent Cogswell Point and the high summit of Miners Peak on the Iron County line. Near the center of the sheet, the distinctive Volcano Knoll rises above Deep Creek, surrounded by remote high-country landmarks like Hogs Heaven and The Plains.

Small-scale aviation and seasonal land use are evident at Burnt Flat, which features a remote Landing Strip near the head of Corral Canyon. Lower elevation areas like Virgin Flats provide a rare level opening among the complex network of watercourses, including Crystal Creek and Big Birch Creek. This map documents a rugged interior wilderness where Washington, Iron, and Kane counties meet, largely accessible only via primitive routes like the Jeep Trail winding through the southern canyons.
