2014 Map of Washington Dome

About this map

Washington Dome and Warner Ridge dominate this corner of Washington County, where the expanding edges of Washington and St. George meet the high desert. The landscape is defined by its water management and dramatic geology, from the wide Virgin River in the north to the sprawling Sand Hollow Reservoir near Hurricane. This terrain is marked by distinct geological formations such as Shinob Kibe, Beehive Dome, and Punchbowl Dome, which rise above the broad flats of Warner Valley. Modern infrastructure is evident in the network of debris basins, including the Stucki Debris Basin Reservoir and Warner Draw Debris Basin Reservoir, built to manage seasonal runoff through the arid basins. These features, alongside Fort Pearce Wash and Dutchman Draw, illustrate the complex relationship between residential growth and the desert's natural drainage patterns.
