About this map

Bannock Peak and Moonshine Peak anchor this high-elevation landscape in Power County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and named canyon systems. The hydrological patterns here include several isolated water sources such as Bannock Spring, Cabin Springs, and Dry Hollow Spring, which likely served as critical points for cattle and wildlife in this semi-arid environment. The presence of Upper Stump Canyon Reservoir suggests managed water resources in an area otherwise dominated by seasonal creeks like Sawmill Cr and W Fork Bannock Cr.

Culturally significant naming conventions are evident in landmarks like Jim Brown Pass, Pete Lish Canyon, and Waylett Canyon, which may point to early settlers or prominent local figures from the region's history. Flatlands suitable for seasonal grazing or high-altitude camps appear at Howard Flat and Warner Flat, providing relief from the steep ridges of White Quartz Mtn. This 2020 data captures the land as it exists today, serving as a clear record of these geographic and topographical identifiers.
