About this map

The Mineral Mountains define this high-elevation landscape in eastern Beaver County, Utah, where peaks like Milford Needle and Granite Peak overlook a complex network of canyons and washes. This mid-1980s data reveals a terrain dominated by hydrologic and geologic features, notably the proliferation of named water sources such as Old Indian Spring, Jackrabbit Spring, and Granite Rock Spring. The presence of a Mine Shaft and several Geothermal Wells suggests the area's ongoing importance for resource extraction and energy potential.

Deep drainage systems including Wildhorse Canyon, Kirk Canyon, and Wycroft Canyon carve through the mountain range, while features like The Park and Bearskin Flat offer rare level ground amidst the ridges. Local nomenclature reflects a blend of wildlife and utilitarian identifiers, from Negro Wash in the north to the family-named Patterson Hollow in the east. This survey serves as a vital record for tracing the location of remote springs and specific mining infrastructure during the late twentieth century.
