About this map

Dixie National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of this 2014 survey, where the border of Iron and Garfield counties crosses a complex system of plateaus and drainages. The area is characterized by significant water management features, notably the Red Cr Reservoir and Foster Reservoir, which serve as critical nodes in a network of creeks like Red Cr and Haycock Cr. These reservoirs, along with smaller bodies like Hoosier Lake and Horse Lake, highlight the region's reliance on captured snowmelt and spring-fed systems in the southern Utah wilderness.

Local landmarks provide a sense of the varied terrain, from the prominent Horse Valley Peak to sheltered depressions such as Round Meadow and Forks Valley. The map records several natural water sources including Mud Springs, Cove Spring, and Willow Spring, which have historically supported livestock and wildlife throughout the Twin Peaks region. The intricate drainage patterns are further marked by named landforms such as Shakespeare Hollow and Mortensen Canyon, reflecting a landscape deeply shaped by seasonal runoff and long-standing grazing activity.
