2023 Map of Zane

About this map

Zane stands as a lonely point of settlement within the expansive Escalante Desert in Iron County. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a landscape defined by its transit corridors and seasonal drainage systems. The Union Pacific railroad cuts diagonally across the desert floor, a primary artery that historically shaped the placement of local outposts. The arid terrain is further articulated by features like the Black Reef and the winding paths of Fourmile Wash and Mountain Spring Wash. Roadways such as Mountain Spring Rd and the Lehi Wood - Zane road provide the only reliable access through this sparsely populated region, while the Lehi Wood Trl offers a more primitive route through the surrounding sage and scrub.
