1951 Map of The Three Peaks

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Iron Springs serves as the primary focal point of this 1951 survey, situated along the Union Pacific railroad line at the edge of the expansive Cedar Valley. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological formations, most notably the prominent cluster of The Three Peaks and the high ridges of The Bald Hills. To the west, the landscape drops away at the Hole in the Wall, a distinctive topographic break in the hills. The presence of several Prospects and a lone Windmill indicates the early industrial and agricultural efforts to tap into the region's mineral wealth and water resources. Drainage is managed by the seasonal courses of Iron Springs Creek and Horse Hollow, which cut through the arid landscape toward the valley floor, while Antelope Rd provides the primary overland connection through this mining and ranching corridor.
