About this map

Deer Springs Ranch Airport serves as a remote aviation landmark in this high-altitude landscape of southern Utah, where the topography is defined by dramatic escarpments and canyon systems. The northern half of the quadrangle is dominated by the White Cliffs and the deep incisions of Bullrush Gorge and Deer Range Canyon. These geological features give way to expansive elevated plateaus such as Calf Pasture Point and the prominent Deer Spring Point, illustrating the traditional ranching and grazing land use in the region.

Remote springs and washes provide the primary water sources in this arid terrain, including Adams Springs and Sand Spring. The southern reaches of the map highlight the isolation of No Mans Mesa and its smaller counterpart, Little No Mans Mesa, rising above the surrounding Nephi Pasture. This 2014 survey documents a rugged backcountry accessible primarily by local routes like Deer Springs Rd and the Skutumpah Ter.
