About this map

Dixie National Forest land dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the Iron Co - Garfield Co boundary line bisects the western reaches of the survey. The terrain is defined by dramatic drainage systems and prominent landmarks like Horse Bench and Fivemile Ridge. The hydrography of the region centers on Panguitch Creek, fed by numerous springs such as Fivemile Spring and Mud Spring.

A complex network of primitive trails and forest roads indicates the area's use for recreation and resource management, with routes like the Sandy-Caddy Creek Loop Trl and Indian Hollow Trl connecting diverse landforms. Named features like Wagon Box, White Rocks, and Dickinson Hill provide specific points of reference for those tracing the geographic history of this section of the plateau, while the numerous hollows and canyons, including Norton Hollow and South Canyon, illustrate the erosional patterns of the Utah interior.
