2014 Map of Latimer

About this map

The Escalante Desert dominates this section of Iron County, defined by its broad, arid basins and the subtle relief of volcanic features. The small settlement of Latimer sits at a crossroads of section-line roads, such as W 23200 N, within this vast desert landscape. Topographical interest is found to the northeast at Blue Knoll, where elevation lines tighten to mark a prominent height above the surrounding flats. Drainage patterns for the region are indicated by seasonal watercourses like Fishers Wash in the west and Mud Spring Wash to the southeast. The map details a network of desert roads and tracks, including the Lowe Well Loop and the Frost Rd Spur, which suggest the sparse but persistent human footprint of ranching or resource management in this open country.
