1991 Map of The Barn

About this map

Ibex sits as a remote anchor point in this desert landscape, located near the eastern edge of the Confusion Range. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts across the Barn Hills and the prominent peak of The Barn. A complex network of drainage canyons including Bonny Stairs Canyon and Cedar Canyon cut through the high ground, feeding into the low-lying Blind Valley and the vast Tule Valley (Depression). The presence of Ibex Well BM 4779 indicates the critical importance of water sources in this arid region of Millard County. Geologic and topographical interest is centered on Fossil Mountain in the south, while names like Politician Point and The Horse Pasture suggest a history of local land use and livestock grazing in the late 20th century.
