2023 Map of Latimer

About this map

Escalante Desert terrain dominates this Iron County landscape, where the arid environment of southern Utah is mapped in contemporary detail. The settlement of Latimer serves as a central reference point in an area defined by its drainage patterns and utilitarian infrastructure. Water management and access are essential in this high desert, evidenced by the presence of Lyman Well and seasonal watercourses such as Fishers Wash and Mud Spring Wash. The road network, including Schoppmann Rd and the appropriately named Frosty, illustrates the grid-like partitioning of the Lund Flats. This modern survey provides a clear view of how land use and transit corridors have evolved within the desert's expanse, offering a precise record of the topography and naming conventions used by the U.S. Geological Survey and other federal agencies in the early twenty-first century.
