About this map

Buckhorn Spring serves as a central landmark in this high-desert region of southwestern Utah, where the survival of cattle and wildlife has long depended on reliable water sources. This 2010 survey illustrates a landscape defined by its seasonal drainages and scattered perennial outlets, including Vance Spring and Meadow Spring to the west. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts, rising into the Indian Peak Range in the southwest corner and passing through the broad Pine Valley to the east.

Water management and natural erosion patterns are evident through the network of dry beds such as Turkey Wash and Antelope Wash, which feed into larger systems like Indian Creek. For those studying the environmental history of Beaver County, the placement of Upper Indian Spring and Lower Indian Spring provides insight into the localized hydrology that supported ranching and transit through these remote basins and ranges.
