About this map

The Santa Clara Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Dixie National Forest. This mid-1980s field check documents a wilderness defined by steep relief and a complex network of seasonal drainages, including the headwaters of the Santa Clara River and the rugged Yankee Doodle Hollow. High points like Signal Peak and open areas such as Deer Flat offer clear spatial context for the region's topography before more modern recreational development.

Evidence of historical water access is scattered throughout the terrain, from Italian Spring on Cedar Ridge to the well-named Further Water Trail. The map also traces the winding course of Leeds Creek and Spirit Creek, highlighting the critical importance of these water sources in the arid environment of Washington County. This survey serves as a vital record for those studying the physical geography and trail systems of southwestern Utah.
