About this map

Dixie National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this Iron County quadrangle, where the high-altitude terrain rises to the summit of Mt Escalante. The area is characterized by a complex network of canyons and draws, including Horse Canyon and the notable Indian Draw, which cut through the uplifted plateaus. Transport across this high desert environment is marked by historical routes like the Old Modena Rd and specialized paths such as the S Devils Gap Cutoff.

The presence of Sevy Bench and Haystack Mtn highlights the region's geological diversity. Modern land use is evident in the inclusion of the N Hills Atv Trail, showing how recreational use integrates with traditional landmarks like Wide Hollow and Sevy Hollow. Names such as Studhorse Draw and Nephi Draw reflect the localized heritage and early cattle-ranching or pioneer influences that helped define these remote corners of Utah.
