About this map

The high arid basin of the Escalante Desert dominates this southwestern Utah landscape, where sparse settlements and natural landmarks define the high-desert character of Iron County. The small community of Latimer serves as a central point of reference, situated within an environment of wide alluvial plains and low-profile drainage patterns. The topography transitions from the open expanse of Lund Flats toward localized elevations like Blue Knoll in the east.

Hydrological features such as Fishers Wash and Mud Spring Wash provide evidence of seasonal water movement across the desert floor. Infrastructure is minimal, represented by routes such as Schoppmann Rd and specialized points like Lyman Well, illustrating how human presence in this region remains tied to water access and ranching heritage. This 2020 record captures the enduring isolation and specific land-use patterns of the region's flatlands.
