About this map

Indian Peak Range dominates this corner of Iron County, Utah, where high ridges are punctuated by strategic gaps such as Arrowhead Pass and Bob Leroy Pass. The landscape is defined by its water sources, essential for ranching and mining in this high desert environment, with numerous family-named and descriptive points like Spanish-George Spring, Mustang Spring, and Pace Spring scattered across the eastern slopes. A network of jeep trails connects these points of interest, tracing paths through Bull Wilson Canyon and past Butcher Meadow.

Evidence of resource extraction is visible at the Skougard Mine in the northern reaches, while a simple Prospect and a Water Tank further south indicate the era's reliance on mineral and livestock potential. The broad expanse of Hamlin Valley edges into the western portion of the map, providing a stark contrast to the high peaks of Steamboat Mtn and the various unnamed peaks that form the local skyline.
