About this map

Blue Mtn and the Wah Wah Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the border of Beaver and Iron Counties. This 2014 survey documents a region defined by its geological landmarks and scarce water sources, where topographic features like Red Hill and Broze Knoll rise above the surrounding flats. The map reveals the critical importance of isolated water points such as Bumblebee Spring and Iron Mine Spring, which likely supported early ranching or prospecting efforts in this arid environment.

A network of primitive roads, including Bumble Bee Rd and Jockey Rd, provides the only access through the basin-and-range terrain. Drainage patterns are clearly marked by seasonal channels like Iron Mine Wash and Blawn Wash, which cut through the hills. While no major towns are shown, the nomenclature of Miller Meadows and various mining-related names suggest a history of localized land use and resource extraction in this corner of southwestern Utah.
