1972 Map of Pinon Point

About this map

Dixie National Forest dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the terrain shifts from the high elevations of Piñon Point down into the eroded drainages of the North Hills. The topography is defined by sharp elevation changes and seasonal watercourses, with Rock Canyon and Sevy Hollow cutting through the western slopes. A prominent Jeep Trail provides the primary means of traversal through these remote uplands, likely used for forest management and ranching access during the early 1970s. The northern reaches transition into more open country toward Piñon Park, illustrating the transition from the high forest canopy to the arid basins characteristic of this region in Iron County.
