About this map

Little Creek Peak anchors this high-elevation landscape in Iron County, where numerous springs and drainages feed into a complex system of canyons and swales. The terrain is defined by dramatic features like the Cottonwood Canyon Narrows and the broad opening of Lower Bear Valley in the north. This area serves as a critical watershed, with a high density of named water sources including Watercress Spring, Rock Quarry Spring, and Navajo Spring supporting the surrounding meadows.

Evidence of local land use is visible at Blue Meadows and Sandy Fields, connected by a network of forest roads such as North Swell Rd and Buckskin Rd. The map tracks several major forks of Sandy Creek and Threemile Creek, illustrating the natural drainage patterns from the peaks into the deep troughs of Ashton Canyon and Peak Canyon. This documentation offers a precise view of the topography before modern shifts in land management or climate altered these alpine water sources.
