About this map

The settlement of Adamsville sits at the southern edge of the Mineral Mountains, where the Beaver River feeds into the Minersville Reservoir. This area in Beaver County illustrates the vital relationship between high-desert terrain and water management, evidenced by the Furnace Ditch and reservoirs that capture runoff from the high peaks. The landscape transitions from the jagged elevations of Harkley Mtn and Granite Canyon in the west to the alluvial plains of Wildcat Creek and Indian Creek in the east.

Local history is anchored by the Adamsville Cem, located just north of Main St. For those tracing the geography of the range, the map details numerous named springs like Rock Corral Spring and Cherry Spring, which provided essential water points along old routes through Soldier Pass and across The Pass Rd. The map preserves the specific locations of many small canyons and hollows, such as Beaumont Canyon and Solomons Hollow, that define the local topography.
