2002 Map of Mount Escalante

About this map

Dixie National Forest dominates this southwestern Utah landscape, particularly within the Pine Valley Ranger District. The terrain is characterized by a series of high ridges and deep drainages, anchored by the prominent elevations of Mount Escalante and Haystack Mountain. The map reveals a network of canyons and washes, including Broad Hollow, Sevy Hollow, and Horse Canyon, which define the local topography. This 2002 revision provides a look at the backcountry infrastructure used for land management and resource exploration, noted by features such as a Drill Hole and a Corral. The naming conventions of the various draws, such as Telegraph Draw, Studhorse Draw, and Nephi Draw, suggest the historical movements of early settlers and livestock through these high-altitude corridors. The absence of permanent settlements emphasizes the protected, wilderness character of this portion of Iron County.
