2014 Map of Thermo

About this map

Thermo Hot Springs and the expansive Escalante Desert define this high-desert landscape on the border of Beaver and Iron Counties. The settlement of Thermo serves as a central point along the rail line, surrounded by varied terrain ranging from the Shauntie Hills in the northwest to the rugged elevations of Old Rambler Hill and Brown Knoll further south. Water management is critical in this arid environment, evidenced by Dead Horse Reservoir and the Monument Knolls Reservoir. A network of rural routes, including Pioche Rd, Thermo Rd, and Skyline Rd, connects these remote outposts and geographic landmarks. The map illustrates the transition from the desert floor into the complex topography of Hot Springs Canyon and the prominent lookout at Dead Horse Point.
