1951 Map of Silver Peak

About this map

Silver Peak dominates the high ground of the Antelope Range in this mid-century topographic survey of Iron County. The landscape is defined by its deep drainage systems and mineral-rich nomenclature, suggesting a history of prospecting and livestock movement through canyons such as Bullion Canyon and Chloride Canyon. To the south, the Red Hills and Iron Mtn flank a network of intermittent water sources, including Joel Spring and Sand Spring, which would have been vital points for early travelers and ranchers in this arid environment. The map details the drainage of The Dry Wash and Little Pinto Creek, providing a clear view of the natural water distribution before modern infrastructure significantly altered the local geography.
