2018 Map of Prohibition Flat

About this map

Prohibition Flat lies along the high-desert border of Iron County, Utah, and Lincoln County, Nevada, where the Paradise Mountains transition into a landscape shaped by seasonal hydrology and historic ranching routes. This area is defined by its critical water sources, such as Prohibition Spring, Newels Spring, and Trough Spring, which would have been vital landmarks for anyone moving through the arid territory. The presence of Rose Valley Reservoir indicates a managed approach to water in a region where naturally occurring drainage like Gold Springs Wash and Midnight Wash provide the primary geographical structure. Navigating this terrain relies on a network of primitive tracks and trails, including the descriptive Devils Trl and the 1st Fork Cutoff Trl, which suggest a history of bypasses and specific localized access points through the canyon systems like Fay Canyon.
