About this map

Dixie National Forest defines the eastern expanse of this Washington County survey, where the high desert terrain transitions into the peaks and ridges of the Great Basin. The landscape is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as Water Canyon Peak and the prominent Pine Park Bench. Early transportation routes, including Crestline Rd and Old Modena Rd, cross the northern sections, while a network of pathways like the Pine Canyon Trail and White Hollow Trail navigate the southern canyons.

Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the Upper Enterprise Reservoir in the southeast corner, fed by drainage from Rock Canyon. Numerous seasonal sources like Nephi Spring, Rattlesnake Spring, and Dads Spring dot the terrain, highlighting the critical nature of water access in this arid environment. The map also captures the local boundary between Iron and Washington counties, intersecting near the headwaters of Shoal Cr.
