About this map

Flanigan Arch sits near the southern boundary of this 2002 revision of Iron County, Utah, where deep canyons and high ridges converge. The terrain is defined by the Ash Down Gorge Wilderness and the Dixie National Forest, showing a landscape sculpted by numerous drainages including Braffits Creek, Coal Creek, and Cedar Creek.

Evidence of historical resource extraction is found in the scattered Adits located near Maple Canyon and Last Chance Canyon. The map details a complex network of high-elevation points such as Sugarloaf Mountain, Eagle Peak, and Summit Mountain, connected by named ridges like Braffits Ridge and Elephant Ridge. Small alpine features like Toms Lake and First Lake are documented alongside seasonal water sources like Bluebell Spring and Eagle Spring, illustrating the hydrologic character of the Markagunt Plateau region at the start of the 21st century.
