2017 Map of Desert Mound

About this map

The Escalante Desert meets the rising terrain of the Harmony Mountains in this survey of Iron County. The landscape is defined by the industrial legacy of Desert Mound, where complex mining infrastructure and roads like Desert Mound Rd indicate a history of heavy extraction. Moving south from the arid Neck of the Desert, the terrain climbs sharply toward Mt Claron and the high point of Swett Peak. A network of specialized transport routes, including the Neck Pipe Line Rd and several connectors like the Alt Foothills Connection, suggests a region organized around resource management. Along the southern slopes, features like Oak Springs Flat and the winding Duncan Cr provide topographic relief against the prominent peaks of the Antelope Range.
