2017 Map of Steamboat Mountain

About this map

Steamboat Mountain dominates the high desert topography of western Iron County, where the Indian Peak Range meets the southern reaches of Hamlin Valley. This 2017 survey documents a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and the legacy of mining access, with primitive routes such as Arrowhead Mine Rd and the Skougaard Mine Cutoff traversing the canyons. The map preserves localized place names that reflect a history of ranching and exploration, including Bob Leroy Peaks, Negro Liza Wash, and Rustlers Draw. Critical water points for travelers and livestock are scattered throughout the draws, such as Mustang Spring, Pace Spring, and Spanish George Spring. The network of trails and roads, including Bob Leroy Pass and Spanish George, illustrates how human movement has navigated the complex terrain of Wilson Canyon and Sawmill Canyon over time.
