2020 Map of Heist

About this map

Heist sits within the arid expanse of the Escalante Desert in Iron County, where the landscape is defined by its sparse settlement and geometric road grid. This 2020 survey shows a network of thoroughfares like Antelope Rd and W Old Modena Rd that carve through the open basin, reflecting the organized ranching or agricultural divisions of the region. The natural topography is relatively level, interrupted by subtle rises such as Gray Knoll and the ephemeral drainage of Hogans Wash. Near the southern edge of the quadrangle, a cluster of residential or utilitarian routes including W Lake Rd and Sundowner suggest a localized pocket of activity or property development amidst the desert flats. The map serves as a detailed record of land use in this part of southwestern Utah, documenting the infrastructure connecting isolated rural tracts.
