About this map

Fremont Pass serves as a central waypoint in this high-altitude landscape where Dog Valley Rd and Freemont Rd converge. This 2011 survey of Iron County reveals a terrain defined by drainage patterns and secluded water sources, including the well-defined Redcedar Spring and the seasonally variable Dry Lake. The map illustrates a high-country economy focused on movement and water access, with features like Coyote Lake and Joes Pond dotting the northern reaches.

Erosion and geology dominate the visual record, from the Granite Knolls of Granite Valley to the deep cuts of Echard Canyon and Hawkins Canyon. Named peaks such as Little Dog Valley Peak provide orientation markers for those navigating the transition between Dog Valley and Lower Bear Valley. The presence of small reservoirs like Bendder Pond suggests a managed approach to the area's scarce water resources in a region primarily used for ranching or passage.
