2010 Map of South Six-shooter Peak

About this map

Tower Ruin and Keyhole Ruins stand as prominent archaeological markers in this desert landscape, where vertical relief is defined by deep drainages and soaring rock formations. The terrain is a labyrinth of wind-carved stone, featuring an exceptional concentration of natural spans such as Gothic Arch, Castle Arch, and the elongated Caterpiller Arch. Extensive canyon systems like Davis Canyon and Horse Canyon dominate the topography, revealing the intricate water-carved history of the region. On the southern edge of the survey, Big Pocket lies tucked away near the Fisheye Arch, while the massive Bridger Jack Mesa rises to the east. The naming conventions for these features, from the descriptive Thirteen Faces to the evocative South Sixshooter Peak, reflect both the physical characteristics of the land and its cultural heritage.
