About this map

The town of Beaver serves as the central hub of this high-desert landscape, where a sophisticated network of irrigation channels like the Carter Ditch, 2D Northwest Ditch, and S Field Ditch dictates the patterns of local agriculture. The Beaver River and its associated wetlands, including the Greenwood Slough and Big Slough, dominate the southern valley floor, reflecting the critical importance of water management in this arid region.

Settlement patterns extend north toward Manderfield and west to Greenville, with the terrain rising sharply into features like Manderfield Hill and The Hogback. For those tracing local history, several distinct burial sites are identified, including Mountain View Cem and the Beaver City Cem. The transition from the rugged highlands of Black Mtn to the flat expanse of Last Chance Bench illustrates the diverse topography that defines the eastern edge of the Great Basin.
