About this map

Ibex sits as a solitary named settlement point within a landscape dominated by the dramatic topographic features of the Confusion Range. The area is characterized by high-elevation landmarks such as Politician Point and Fossil Mtn, which overlook a network of deep incisions like Bonny Stairs Canyon and Francis Canyon. The central landform, The Barn, rises prominently above The Barn Pass, serving as a focal point for the surrounding Barn Hills.

To the east, the terrain transitions sharply into the Tule Valley Hardpan, reflecting the arid basin-and-range geography of Millard County. The presence of The Horse Pasture suggests historical grazing utility in an otherwise formidable environment of ridges and washes. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the intricate drainage patterns of Trail Canyon and Cedar Canyon, detailing a region where geological formations dictate the routes of passage through the western desert.
