About this map

Pinto stands at the eastern edge of this terrain, situated where the high desert of the Escalante Valley meets the rising slopes of the Dixie National Forest. This 2002 revision, based on earlier topographic data, illustrates a landscape defined by deep drainages like Wheat Grass Canyon and Holt Canyon, which carve through the volcanic and sedimentary formations of Cove Mountain. The distribution of water sources is critical to the area's history, marked by numerous named points such as Oak Spring, Cove Spring, and Hamblin Spring.

Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the location of the Hamblin Cem and a second Cem near the settlement of Pinto. Evidence of former resource extraction is preserved through labeled Prospects scattered across the ridges, while the Pipeline corridors and the boundary between Iron and Washington counties provide a clear picture of how modern infrastructure and political lines intersect with the complex topography of Meadow Mountain and the Pinto Creek drainage.
