Geology

As with the surrounding area, soil and rock formations on Webb Hill are red in appearance due to the presence of iron oxide. Although portions of the older section of the city of St. George lie on floodplain alluvium, much of the city is built directly upon Jurassic, Triassic, and Permian period sedimentary bedrock. This includes Webb Hill. At its highest point, the hill reaches in elevation. It is in length from east to west, and in length from north to south.

Radio

Multiple lower power and booster stations broadcast from the hill, a full list of which can be found .
Given these stations are translators and lower power stations, their coverage of the region is limited. Full power stations in St. George transmit from Seegmiller Mountain, 17 miles south of town in Arizona.

Television

Along with radio station transmitters, the hill is home to numerous television stations. The two best known stations are KMYU and KUEW. KMYU is a full service television station while KUEW is a satellite of KUED from Salt Lake City. All stations on the list appearing 2.9 miles away from St. George are in fact broadcasting from within the city on Webb Hill. In total 17 television stations broadcast from the mountain. However, due to the national digital television transition, several of the analog translator stations were shut off.

Internet

Along with radio and television station transmitters, Webb Hill is home to one of the local high speed internet providers' transmitters in St. George.
