About this map

Ashdown Gorge Wilderness and the surrounding high-elevation terrain of Dixie National Forest characterize this mid-1980s survey on the boundary of Iron and Kane counties. The landscape is defined by dramatic escarpments and named promontories, including Sherratt Point, Bauer Point, and O'Neil Point. This map captures a complex network of canyons and drainage systems, where the headwaters of Right Hand Creek and the Adams West Fork Deep Creek carve through the plateau.

Evidence of local resource use and seasonal grazing is found at sites like Lundell Spring and the expansive Webster Flat. Significant landmarks such as Miners Peak and Black Mountain anchor the topography, while smaller features like Aspen Lake and Crystal Spring provide critical water sources in this high-altitude environment. The map details a transition between wilderness protection and forest management, marked by the distinct Wilderness Boundary that separates the gorge from more accessible forest tracts.
