About this map

Dixie National Forest covers the majority of this Iron County landscape, where the high plateaus and deep drainage systems of south-central Utah are meticulously documented. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Summit Mtn, Eagle Peak, and Sugarloaf Mtn, which overlook complex canyon networks such as Hells Canyon, Maple Canyon, and Deep Canyon. The geomorphology of the region is punctuated by the notable Flanigan Arch and the narrow passage of Ashdown Gorge near the southern boundary.

Evidence of seasonal use and remote geographic names are scattered throughout the highlands, with locations like Martins Flat, Potato Hollow, and Third House Flat suggesting historical pastoral or transit points. The map traces an intricate system of watercourses, including Summit Creek and Coal Creek, alongside specialized routes like the High Mountain Snowmobile Trail and the Battlesnake Trail. This survey captures the intersection of conservation land and high-altitude topography just before the 2020s.
