About this map

The Frisco Mts and Beaver Lake Mountains dominate this 1960 study of southwestern Utah, where the border of Millard Co and Beaver Co cuts through a high-desert landscape of mining and ranching. The eastern edge of the dry Sevier Lake basin gives way to complex mountain passes like Iron Mine Pass and Black Rock Pass.

Evidence of early industrial activity is concentrated near the peaks, including the North Star Mine, Galena Mine, and West Spring Mine. A cluster of Charcoal Kilns near Three Kilns Spring points to the area's history of smelting ore. Along the eastern flats, the Beaver River winds through the Beaver Bottoms, a region marked by scattered Ruins and cattle-related infrastructure such as the School Bus Corral, reflecting a landscape shaped by both mineral extraction and marginal ranching.
