2011 Map of Parowan Gap

About this map

Parowan Gap cuts through the Red Hills in this Iron County landscape, serving as a critical geological and historical corridor between the high plateau and the valley floor. The map highlights the eastern margin of the Little Salt Lake basin, an area defined by seasonal water patterns and sparse desert springs like Lister Spring and Dipping Vat Spring. This 2011 survey captures the intersection of desert washes and rugged canyons, where Jackrabbit Wash drains into the basin from the north while Coal Canyon and Whitney Canyon carve into the hills from the south.
