About this map

Dixie National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Iron and Washington Counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks, including Iron Mtn, Stoddard Mtn, and the southern reach of the Harmony Mountains. This rugged topography is deeply dissected by drainage systems such as Pace Draw and Bumblebee Canyon, while more permanent water sources like Pinto Cr and Bumblebee Lake anchor the local hydrology.

Evidence of human movement through the backcountry is preserved in a network of historic routes and primitive paths, such as the Duncan Spring Trail and Old State Hwy 144. The presence of numerous named water sources, including Crystal Springs, Aspen Spring, and Hidden Spring, suggests the importance of reliable water for ranching or forestry in this arid environment. The map also captures the transition between the Pine Valley Mountains to the southwest and the higher ridges to the north near Blowout Hollow.
