2014 Map of Water Canyon Peak

About this map

Water Canyon Peak stands as the primary landmark in this corner of the Dixie National Forest along the high boundary between Iron and Washington counties. The landscape is defined by its drainages and high flats, where Rock Hole Wash and Shoal Cr carve paths through the terrain. The presence of numerous named water sources like Terry Spring, Nephi Spring, and Rattlesnake Spring highlights the vital importance of these points in an arid environment. Historical movement across the high country is evidenced by the Old Modena Rd and the crossing at West Pass. To the southeast, the Upper Enterprise Reservoir indicates modern water management, while labels like Mud Flat and Colie Flat describe the varied topography that transitions from peaks to low basins. This 2014 survey captures the persistence of traditional land names and ranching-related geography in the Utah wilderness.
