2001 Map of Black Ridge

About this map

Beaver sits at the edge of a sophisticated high-desert irrigation network at the dawn of the 21st century, where the Beaver River and a series of managed waterways like the Last Chance Canal and Mammoth Ditch support the local landscape. The terrain transitions sharply from the agricultural flats of the Last Chance Bench and Bone Table Grounds into the steep, timbered ridges of the Fishlake National Forest. This era shows a community balancing traditional land use with modern utility, evidenced by the Gaging Station, Water Treatment Site, and power infrastructure near the river. Recreational spaces such as the Little Cottonwood Campground and Ponderosa Picnic Area are established along the river's path through the mountains, while the heights of Black Ridge and Black Mountain dominate the eastern skyline.
