2002 Map of Little Creek Peak

About this map

Dixie National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape on the boundary of Iron and Garfield counties. The terrain is defined by a complex network of hydrological features and drainage systems, including the Upper Bear Valley and Lower Bear Valley. Rising above these valleys are several prominent summits, most notably Little Creek Peak and Grouse Peak, with the northern reaches marked by Showalter Mountain. Economic activity in this forest environment is indicated by the presence of several quarries and quarrying sites scattered near Bear Creek. A dense collection of named water sources, such as Watercress Spring, Hollyoak Spring, and Cottonwood Spring, suggests the importance of water management in this high-desert environment. For those tracing the historical geography of the region, the Three Mile Trail provides a route through the southern canyons near Threemile Creek.
