2017 Map of Signal Peak

About this map

The Pine Valley Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Dixie National Forest, culminating at the prominent summit of Signal Peak. The terrain is defined by a radial drainage pattern of creeks and canyons, including Nay Canyon, Squaw Canyon, and the deep Yankee Doodle Hollow. This survey captures the extensive network of backcountry routes that crisscross the wilderness, such as the Whipple Trail and the Summit Trail, which trace the ridges and basins of the forest. The presence of numerous water sources like Columbine Spring, Big Hollow Spring, and Ash Grove Spring illustrates the critical hydrology that supports the high-desert ecosystem. While the map is primarily wilderness, features like Jones Hollow Reservoir and the Equestrian Trail near the northern border of Pine Valley indicate the area's management for both resource conservation and specific recreational use.
