1972 Map of Water Canyon Peak

About this map

Dixie National Forest covers the high-elevation terrain of southwestern Utah, where the border between Iron and Washington counties meets. The landscape is defined by its extensive drainage systems, with Water Canyon and Green Canyon carved into the central highlands below Water Canyon Peak. Notable landmarks such as Rock Hole Corral and Terry Spring suggest a history of seasonal ranching and livestock management within these forest lands. In the southeast corner, the Upper Enterprise Reservoir serves as a critical water resource, collecting flow from Shoal Creek and Willow Spring Draw. This 1970s survey captures a network of specialized routes, including the Rock Pack Trail and several Pack Trails and Jeep tracks that provided access through West Pass and across Big Bench for land managers and outdoorsmen alike.
